“Peinture 324 x 181 cm, 19 février 2009 (Polyptyque)” is a minimalist abstract artwork created by Pierre Soulages in 2009, utilizing acrylic on canvas. This notable piece is characterized by its dimensions of 324 x 181 cm and currently resides in a private collection.
The artwork exudes a deep and contemplative presence, rendered primarily in dark, monochromatic tones. The repetitive and textured brushstrokes form a structured yet abstract grid that adds a dimensional quality to the canvas. Each stroke reflects and interacts with light, creating a fluctuating visual experience based on the observer’s viewing angle. The minimalist approach emphasizes the interplay between light and dark, as well as the tactile surface of the medium, which is a hallmark of Soulages’ oeuvre. The artwork’s abstract nature invites varied interpretations, allowing the viewer to engage with it on a personal and introspective level.
