Description:
A vivid and striking mid-century abstract painting by French artist Serge Guerin (b.1916), executed in acrylic and gouache on artists paper. This geometric composition is set against a radiant yellow background, with intricate interlocking spire-like forms rendered in shades of grey, burgundy, white, blue, and olive. Guerin’s characteristic use of sharp intersecting lines and rhythmic repetition creates a sense of architectural structure and cosmic energy. The upper and lower groupings of pointed shapes seem to float in balance, suggesting movement, sound waves, or futuristic skylines. The bold yellow field heightens the drama of the darker hues, showcasing Guerin’s sensitivity to colour contrast and spatial tension.
Typical of the post-war French School and the influence of Constructivism and Hard-Edge abstraction, this work exemplifies the optimism and precision of mid-century European design. The artist’s mastery of gouache and acrylic brings both opacity and luminosity to the surface, making this an exceptional example of 1950s–60s modernist geometry. Ideal for collectors of French abstract art, modernist interiors, or mid-century décor, the painting’s dynamic composition and saturated palette ensure a powerful visual impact. Unframed and ready for presentation, this is a unique opportunity to acquire an authentic piece from Serge Guerin’s estate—an artist whose geometric abstractions continue to attract collectors for their refined balance and architectural beauty.
