André Lemonnier – Trois clartés on Gallery Wall

5 October 2017 · Paris

André Lemonnier's Trois clartés (2009) hangs in a white frame against a clean gallery wall, its surface covered in hundreds of small pastel-coloured squares — pale blues, yellows, pinks, and greens scattered across a near-white ground. The wall label to the right also references Blanc nuancé (2002), suggesting the two works anchor a quietly persistent investigation into colour as structure. The grid is rigorous; the palette barely there — and yet the accumulation of so many near-nothing marks produces something unmistakably present.
