Screen print on PVC paper - These three screen prints are from the collective portfolio « 9 x 5 konkret. 9 Künstler. 5 Farben » (Adrian, Alviani, Bill, Calderara, Loewensberg, Mavignier, Novosad, Wilding, Morellet). Chartres is in reference to the stained glass windows of the Chartres Cathedral in France, that Morellet was very fond of. // Chartres bleu rouge by François Morellet, created in 1973, is a vibrant silkscreen print composed of an intricate grid of alternating blue, red, and green squares set against a black background. This systematic arrangement creates a pulsating visual effect as the contrasting colors interact, drawing the viewer's eye across the pattern in an almost hypnotic rhythm. Inspired by the stained glass windows of the Chartres Cathedral in France, Morellet’s work captures the essence of color interplay and luminosity seen in the historical architecture he admired. The piece exemplifies Morellet’s commitment to geometric abstraction and his fascination with repetition, color theory, and optical perception, creating a work that is both structured and visually dynamic.

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.
