Description:
This intricate black ink composition by Serge Guerin exemplifies the artist’s fascination with movement, rhythm, and the precision of architectural form. Geometric Study in Motion features three major structures — each interconnected through slender, tensile lines that stretch across the page like strands of tension or light. The sense of movement between the forms gives the work a kinetic quality, as though the structures are caught mid-shift within a delicate equilibrium.
Executed during the 1960s, this drawing captures Guerin’s distinctive visual language — one that bridges post-war Constructivist design and the elegance of hand-drafted modernism. The alternation between dense black forms, fine linear intersections, and delicate cross-hatching demonstrates both technical control and expressive rhythm.
Though purely abstract, the work evokes the tension of bridges, towers, or musical notation — geometric architecture in motion. Guerin’s command of proportion and spacing lends the piece both harmony and dramatic verticality, hallmarks of his mature period.
A refined and balanced example of French mid-century graphic abstraction, ideal for collectors drawn to the intersection of design, modernism, and fine draughtsmanship.

Description:
An intricate and refined mid-century ink drawing by French artist Serge Guerin (b.1916), whose work epitomises the elegance and precision of post-war geometric abstraction. Executed in black ink on textured artists paper, this composition features a network of tall, spire-like forms interconnected by fine linear structures. The result is an architectural composition that conveys rhythm, balance, and tension — a hallmark of Guerin’s sophisticated modernist style.
Each element is carefully composed, with fine cross-hatching and tonal modulation creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The drawing’s structural intricacy and vertical dynamism evoke both architectural design and abstract sculpture, aligning Guerin’s practice with the broader Constructivist and Hard-Edge movements that flourished in mid-20th-century France. His masterful handling of line and proportion transforms pure geometry into a poetic, architectural vision.
Signed “SG” lower right, this work is a superb example of Guerin’s technical skill and visual harmony. It would suit collectors of mid-century design, French abstraction, or modern architectural art...
