The artwork titled “Peinture 222 x 314 cm, 24 février 2008” was created by the artist Pierre Soulages in 2008. It belongs to the Minimalism movement and is an abstract piece executed with acrylic on canvas. Measuring 222 x 314 cm, the artwork is housed in a private collection.
The artwork features an interplay of deep, monochromatic tones. The canvas is divided into dark, distinct geometric sections that emphasize texture and form. A partial diagonal line cuts through the composition, creating a contrast between the shades of black and grey. The surface appears meticulously crafted, inviting the viewer to observe the subtle variations in tone and the interplay of light and shadow. The minimalist approach, characterized by its simplicity and restraint, allows for a focus on the materiality and spatial dynamics inherent in the piece.
