Beginning with splash and dribbled painting techniques, which mirrored the 1950's Abstract Expressionist American School, Pierre Soulages has built a remarkable body of work, centred around his attraction for the transfiguration of light and colour. For Soulages, these two elements constitute a theoretical plane of investigation, which he has been exploring for over seven decades now.
 
« I have made my art a metabolism.
I express myself freely in paint in order to exist… »
« I paint for angels, to show them what men and women really look like. »

Pierre Soulages
He has developed over the years, a unique affinity for the black tone colouring, which he both interprets as an expression of the presence of light, as well as, the absence of light. This is the essential substance of his works.

What is ‘light and space’?

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.
