France
Born in 1926 in Cholet, France

Self-taught visual artist and researcher, François Morellet explored geometric abstraction through paintings, sculptures, and installations for over six decades. Using a variety of materials – he introduced neon into fine arts as early as 1963 – he favored objectivity and strict control of the creative process. An expert in the creation of absurd geometric rules, he transformed abstraction into a magical world, with his humor reflected in the titles, often filled with wordplay and parodies.
