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 ‘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.
