Description

An original work by Bernard Aubertin created in 1988, this pastel composition on paper fits perfectly into the artistic research carried out by the artist around red monochrome, a central element of his aesthetic vocabulary.

Titled Pastel, Points, points, lines, Red 88, this work develops a vibrant surface entirely constructed through the repetition of short, rhythmic gestures, creating a dense, almost pulsating material where red becomes simultaneously color, energy, and space. Through this exploration of chromatic saturation and texture, Aubertin continues his emblematic experiments with monochrome, in the tradition of the ZERO movement with which he was historically associated.

Bernard Aubertin's works on paper constitute an essential and sought-after part of his corpus, offering a more intimate and sensitive reading of his creative process while retaining the formal radicalism that has made him internationally renowned.

This unique piece, dated and signed by the artist, is a remarkable testament to his late production and his absolute mastery of the monochrome language.

Bernard Aubertin, Pastel – Points, points, traits, Rouge 88
France  • 1934

Presentation

Bernard Aubertin, born in 1934, takes part in the artistic revival of the Sixties with the Zero Group of Düsseldorf.

All of his artworks are based on the red color, a tint linked to the fire element used itself as an intervention tool on the artworks that conquer, in this way, a new dimension. In the Dessins de Feu sur Papier series the physical space of the sheet is crossed by matchsticks that impress traces on the surface recreating new shapes. In the Fer Brûlé series, the flame acts on metal sheets discovering the typical red color where they are corroded by the fire, and the red shape becomes a new figure with graphic edges designed by the fire.
