About the Item

Title: Mid Century French Geometric Abstract Starburst in Blue Green and Purple by Serge Guerin (b. 1916), French signed lower right “SG”, name stamped verso Acrylic and gouache on brown artists paper, unframed Size: 25.75 (height) x 19.75 (width) inches Provenance: private collection, Paris, France Condition: overall good and sound; minor edge wear and light handling marks consistent with age; surface bright and stable with no major imperfections. Description: An exceptional mid-century geometric abstract by French artist Serge Guerin (b.1916), executed in acrylic and gouache on artists paper. This captivating composition features an explosive starburst of intersecting, angular forms rendered in vivid hues of teal, purple, olive, blue, black, and white. Guerin’s precise geometric technique and rhythmic arrangement of shapes create a strong sense of movement and balance, while the spiked symmetry lends the work a cosmic, architectural quality. Characteristic of Guerin’s mid-century aesthetic, the composition draws from Constructivist and Hard-Edge abstraction influences, yet retains a distinctly French sensibility through its lyrical interplay of colour and form. The artist’s mastery of line, contrast, and tonal layering produces a dynamic, almost crystalline energy at the heart of the composition. The work’s structural precision and striking colour harmony make it both visually impactful and intellectually engaging. Signed “SG” lower right, this is a fine example of Serge Guerin’s post-war abstract style — ideal for collectors of mid-century modern, geometric, or French School abstraction. Its compact format and vibrant palette make it versatile for display in both modern and minimalist interiors. From the artist’s estate, this original piece demonstrates Guerin’s enduring influence on 20th-century French abstract art and his refined understanding of geometry, rhythm, and balance.
