Mixed media on hardboard panel - Signed and dated 'Walter 58' - Catalogue raisonné nr. 128 bis Antwerp, painted in 1958 by Belgian artist Walter Leblanc, is a unique mixed media work on hardboard measuring 52 x 124 cm. The piece reflects Leblanc’s early interest in materiality and texture before he became widely associated with kinetic and ZERO art. Composed of earthy tones, blacks, and a striking strip of turquoise blue, the painting suggests an abstracted urban or industrial landscape. The layering of textures and gestural marks evokes motion and transformation, possibly alluding to post-war reconstruction in Antwerp. Signed and dated "Walter 58," the work is listed as number 128 bis in the artist’s catalogue raisonné.

What is the Zero Movement?
ZERO was an art movement founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, aiming to develop into a large international and cross-border movement. The name ZERO originated from a magazine founded by Heinz Mack in 1957, which became a platform for the group's ideas. The magazine was published for several years before ceasing in 1967. The ZERO movement sought to create a new beginning in art, emphasizing light, space, and movement, and became influential in post-war European art.
