About the Item
Following a visit to the Paris studio of Yves Klein in 1957, Bernard Aubertin was inspired to follow in Klein’s footsteps and passionately work within the field of monochromy, a style that he adamantly adhered to throughout his career, choosing a vibrant red hue just as Klein famously worked in blue.
He covered all over nail paintings with these characteristically bright red surfaces, creating monochrome yet intriguing compositions. As outlined in Aubertin’s writings, he sought to bring out the absolute “destiny” of the color, and in turn, what he calls the “pictorial essence” and a psychic/sensuous value, through monochromy. Within the color red there exists a compelling dichotomy. On the one hand it evokes violence as the color of blood and fire and on the other it embodies an infinite and anonymous purity.
By the 1960’s, Aubertin had introduced fire into his repertoire, a medium that effectively becomes the physical manifestation of his chosen color. Many of the works consist of abstract compositions using matches that were later burned, creating variations caused by the spontaneous nature of flame. The process by which the works are created is inherent in the final product and the viewer can clearly see the charred transformation that took place. In effect, the destructive nature of fire becomes a mode of creation and rebirth.
By 1962, Aubertin was recognized as a member of the, originally German, international Zero movement, exhibiting with them and regularly corresponding with artists such as Heinz Mack, Otto Piene and Piero Manzoni. He shared a similar rejection of art as language and instead strived to create works that embody simplicity and austerity. Aubertin’s red works give rise to pure vibration and anonymous energy in a way that is emblematic of the movement.
Since the 1960s, his work has been widely exhibited throughout Europe and the United States, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (New York), the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam), and the Palais de Tokyo (Paris). Aubertin’s work is included in the permanent collections of the Musee de Graz, the Museum of Dusseldorf, and the Centre National de l’Art Contemporain (Paris), among others. Bernard Aubertin was born in 1934 in Fontenay-aux-Roses, France. He passed away in Reutlingen, Germany in 2015.

- Intertwined. Abstract, Modern, Contemporary, Plaster, wall SculptureBy Cari CohenLocated in Miami, USIntertwined . Sculpture made by plaster and painted with acrylic and spray paint. 20H x 40W x 13D About the process: From a mesh I begin to create the forms of the sculpture, without previous ideas, I let myself be carried away by the curves and counter curves that are generated. Once this process is finished, there are many layers of material to give body and strengthen the work. Then comes the polishing and finally the painting. It takes me a long process to finish the sculpture. My work combines aspects of architecture, the urban environment, bright graffiti colors, and a duality of structure with chaos. Curves, illusory perspectives, geometry, and urban symbols are among some of the tools I use in making my work. Innovation with materials is a key component as I have used plaster...Category
