Nails and acrylic on wood // Clou - with Pattern by Bernard Aubertin, created in 1966, is a mixed-media work that features nails and red acrylic on wood. Presented in a diamond orientation, this piece exemplifies Aubertin’s commitment to exploring texture, form, and the color red. The nails are meticulously arranged to create a structured, tactile surface, which interacts with the vibrant red paint to generate a subtle play of light and shadow. The repetitive arrangement of nails builds a hypnotic pattern that captures the viewer’s attention, inviting close examination of the details. Aubertin, known for his monochromatic red works, uses the nails not only as a structural component but as a medium of expression, symbolizing energy and rhythm. This artwork captures the artist’s fascination with materiality and minimalism, turning a simple red surface into a field of intense visual and physical engagement.

What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
