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 Emphemeral Art?
Ephemeral art is a type of art that occurs only once and typically lasts for a very short period. It cannot be displayed as a traditional work of art in a gallery or museum. Examples of ephemeral art include performances, happenings, sound sculptures, flyers, and mass-produced items. This art form emphasizes the transient nature of the experience, existing only in the moment and often leaving no lasting physical trace.
