The sophisticated colour scheme combined with the rigourous construction of this "oil on paper mounted on canvas" attest to the late period of Jean-Pierre Pincemin's research into chromatic harmonies (parallel to his exploration of figurative painting at the end of the 1980s). The formal spareness and absence of lyricism reflect the precepts of the French Supports/Surfaces movement.
Jean-Pierre Pincemin
France
Born in 1944
French painter.
In the late 1960s, Pincemin put away his paintbrushes and began applying paint freely using prints of iron and mesh. He was also part of the Supports-Surfaces movement for a period of time.
From 1968 to 1974, he cut and pasted squares, diamonds, or fragments of canvas bathed in paint, obtaining subtle chromatic relationships.
He then returned to the easel and paintbrush. He explored the harmony and contrasts of colour in his work which demonstrated his quest for geometric organisation determined by chromatic values.
