Geometric Abstraction

1949

About the Item

Cubist painting by painter Josif Iliu born in 1919 in Romania, Iliu exposes and produces theater sets in Bucharest. He first emigrated to Italy and then to Paris in 1949. He joined the mouvement of geometric abstraction and exhibited at the Salon of New Realities and Paris galleries, notably with Dumitresco and Istrati. But it is in Montreal (Quebec) where he settled in 1953 that Iliu will developed powerful monumental artworks (reliefs, sculptures, mosaics) designed for contemporary architecture. His art combines metallic, monumentality and light sensitivity (the Imperial Bank of Canada, Hall Peel Center, C.I.L. Building in Toronto ...). Works of the 1949s at the gallery.

    Guillaume ROCHE The artist translates movement and energy through the dynamism of assemblages and seeks the balance of composition. His sculptures offer aerial movements, round shapes with powerful lines, delicate and sensual cuts. The contextualization of his works, inscribing the approach of Guillaume Roche in the field of architecture: work of structure, lines, matter and skin, study of a volume and its proportions according to context and environment. His work is conceived to be connected with the territory. The EXCLOS series is born from the encounter of the concepts of EXPLOSION and ECLOSION. The artist conceives these imposing spheres of steel as a powerful breath contained by a gentle force that channels and envelops this primary energy. Working with stainless steel, Guillaume seeks contrast through concepts such as full-void, light-weight, balance-fall. In contrast, he finds total freedom of creation...
