André Lemonnier – Jeux Chromatiques 2, 2007

5 October 2017 · Paris

André Lemonnier's Jeux Chromatiques 2 (2007) hangs in a European gallery, its black frame holding three vertical bands in strict tension: flat grey on the left, deep black on the right, and between them a column of pointillist colour that runs from near-invisible speckles at the top through purple and blue to a dense iridescent shimmer at the base. The work is quietly insistent — the side panels flatten everything, and the centre panel complicates it.
