Pierre Soulages.

BLACK has always been the main subject matter in this french painter’s long career. But not only as a simple color. Soulages’ black, renamed by the artist “outrenoir” (besidesblack), is used as pure material, on which light reflects, or not.

“…both a colour and a non-colour. When light is reflected on black, it transforms and transmutes it. It opens up a mental field all of its own”.

This ability to play with reflection creates a kind of small world, composed with bright lights and dark shadows; and as you move around the painting, this black world changes, and evolves with you. His artworks are like bas-reliefs, and as Pierre Soulage plays with texture, black becomes a universal tone, in which you can actually see each color of the light spectrum. Those works are more than made with oils, ink or acrylic : they are also built with light. The longer you stare at it, the more you get hypnotized by this perfect harmony, as if you were discovering in Soulages’ black the source of everything else. Soulage doesn’t want to give his work a particular meaning. He prefers to let us live our own experience and “feel” it, in a sort of primitive way.

His oeuvre is currently exhibited in Lyon (France), at the Museum of fine arts. This brilliant exhibition features both new paintings and most relevant works from different periods.
