WHAT
A key figure in the American Colour Field Painting movement, the artist is known for his experimental use of colour and texture. The exhibition focuses on his late-career series of Mitt paintings, where he used mittens to spread vibrant, sculptural layers of acrylic paint across the canvas. The exhibition explores his radical approach to colour and form, pushing the boundaries between painting and sculpture. The Paris show is part of a 2-part event, with a corresponding exhibition in New York at Yares Art.

WHY
The artist’s works represent the culmination of decades of experimentation, reflecting his fascination with the materiality and immateriality of colour. The works demonstrate his break from traditional painting, exploring the ambiguous nature of surfaces and the relationship between chance and control, showcasing his unique creative process and contribution to abstract art. With the Mitt paintings, he moved beyond traditional modernism, exploring the materiality and immateriality of colour and the random, intuitive bond between hand and canvas.
