Pierre Soulages (24 December 1919 – 26 October 2022)
Pierre Soulages is considered a major figure of post-war European abstraction, alongside Hans Hartung, George Mathieu, Serge Poliakoff and Jean-Paul Riopelle.
He’s particularly renowned for his “outrenoir” (“beyond black”) series of paintings, which feature matte and glossy black fields interrupted by ridges, scores, and gashes; the artist is interested in how black paint absorbs and reflects light.
Since making his gallery debut in 1947, Soulages has exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art, The Louvre and the State Hermitage Museum (he was the first living artist to show at the institution), and his work has been acquired for the collections of the Centre Pompidou, The Guggenheim, Tate Modern, and the National Gallery of Art in Washington.
Applying the paint in thick layers, Soulages’ painting technique includes using objects such as spoons, tiny rakes and bits of rubber to work away at the painting, often making scraping, digging or etching movements depending on whether he wants to evoke a smooth or rough surface. The texture that is then produced either absorbs or rejects light, breaking up the surface of the painting by disrupting the uniformity of the black.
Peinture 65 x 92 cm, 9 février 1960, 1960, signed; signed and dated 9 Fev 60 on the reverse, oil on canvas, 65 by 92 cm, 25 9/16 by 36 1/4 in. © Bonhams 2001-2020.

Modern abstract art is a form of artistic expression that has captivated the minds and hearts of people around the world. It is characterized by its use of bold colors, geometric shapes, and free-flowing lines to create artwork that often defies traditional representations of reality. In recent years, modern abstract art has undergone a surge in popularity, becoming one of the most sought-after forms of contemporary art.
Do you think abstract art looks good except on the wall and on clothes and everyday objects?

I have had very bad nightmares for the last few days. When I woke up I felt sick, my stomach hurt. Then came the urge to paint. I had to capture the colors, the fear, the revulsion. I have always loved art and maybe one day these paintings, these fears, anxieties, depressions etc. will become an exhibition. Maybe I just want to pass on some message to other people through my paintings.
