Description:
This striking composition by Serge Guerin exemplifies his mastery of geometric abstraction, combining sharp-edged precision with a painter’s sensitivity to rhythm and tone. Executed in gouache and ink on rich ochre paper, Interlocking Forms on Ochre Paper showcases Guerin’s signature use of spiked, tensile shapes that stretch dynamically across the surface.
The interwoven angular forms — painted in black, white, deep red, and earthy brown — create a sense of kinetic balance, as if the composition were in perpetual motion. Each segment overlaps and folds into the next, producing depth and energy despite the work’s restrained palette. Guerin’s technical control is evident in the crisp delineation of line and the even, matte finish of his colour fields.
Likely created in the late 1950s or early 1960s, this piece reflects the artist’s ongoing engagement with post-war Constructivist ideas and the graphic visual language of modernist design. The ochre support adds warmth and contrast, emphasising the architectural clarity of the forms while grounding them in a subtle, organic tone.
A refined and vibrant example of Guerin’s mid-century aesthetic, balancing elegance and energy through line and geometry.
