Nails, wood and red acrylic paint. // Clou (rouge) by Bernard Aubertin is a striking mixed media piece created in 1968, emblematic of the artist’s dedication to the color red and his exploration of texture through unconventional materials. The artwork, measuring 50 cm by 50 cm, is crafted from nails embedded in wood and overlaid with red acrylic paint. Aubertin meticulously aligns the nails in horizontal rows, creating a grid-like structure that both disrupts and enhances the monochromatic red surface. The interplay between the nails and the red paint introduces depth, shadow, and a tactile dimension, making the artwork feel dynamic and visually rich. This piece exemplifies Aubertin's fascination with repetition, minimalism, and the emotional resonance of red, a color he believed to be charged with energy and intensity.

What is ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
