This etching by Serge Poliakoff features a bold composition with a black crossbar that divides the work into two balanced parts, creating a powerful visual contrast. The power of shapes and colors is at the heart of this work, where each element plays an essential role in the overall harmony of the whole. The artist orchestrates a subtle interplay of hues that respond to and complement each other.
The play of light is particularly remarkable, thanks to the various shades and textured effects. The deep blues evoke an idea of the abyss, plunging the viewer into a mysterious, introspective atmosphere. This intense blue gradually fades to mingle with more delicate shades of blue and mauve, as if the viewer were gradually rising from this abyssal intensity. This play of colors, like an Ariadne's thread, traces a visual path that leads the eye to discover the nuances of the work, while intensifying the lithograph's depth and richness.
Poliakoff succeeds in capturing the essence of his work, balancing geometric rigor with a vibrant color palette. This lithograph is not only a demonstration of his virtuosity, but also a poetic exploration of colored forms. It invites contemplation and reflection, offering a rich and nuanced visual experience.
