Serge Poliakoff, Composition à la forme noire, 1950
Oil on canvas, 81 x 100 cm, 32 x 39 1/2 in
Almine Rech Paris, Matignon is pleased to present Image Divine, Serge
Poliakoff's first solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from September 7 to October 5, 2024.
"This exhibition will explore the influence of the sacred in the work of the
celebrated French artist who represented France at the 1962 Venice Biennale.
Based on Poliakoff’s diary entries, the exhibition looks at the last twenty years of
his work as a preservation of the spiritual link between contemporary art and the
Old Masters. There are direct parallels between his paintings and the
compositions of Giotto and Fra Angelico, which allowed Poliakoff to reflect on
the nature of pictorial composition itself.
The dominant theme of the exhibition is the development of the liturgical aspect
of the artist’s work, from Icône (1949) to his unfinished 1969 work based on
Andrei Rublev’s Trinity. Poliakoff’s abstract art is revealed to be of spiritualist
nature, which unexpectedly connects him to abstractionism and thus to the work
of Kandinsky.
In the context of Poliakoff’s abstract compositions, which are ‘domestic in their
scale—but not in their vision’ according to Sean Scully, his personal icon, which
has never been published, will be featured, as well as the treasures of his library."
