Signed (initials) by Serge Guerin (b. 1916), French
Black ink on paper, unframed

Description:
A striking mid-century ink drawing by French modernist Serge Guerin, this elegant work distils the figure into flowing, calligraphic lines. The seated form—suggestive of a lotus pose—unfurls from a network of intersecting curves that create a graceful, totemic silhouette crowned by branching motifs. Guerin’s economy of mark, crisp black line and control of negative space place the piece firmly within the Paris-school tradition of figurative abstraction and Surrealist-inflected automatism. The textured wove paper and deckled margins enhance the artistry, while the confident pen work recalls mid-century design, fashion illustration and biomorphic modernism. Signed with the artist’s monogram lower right, the drawing would frame beautifully in a simple mount and thin black or natural-wood frame. Ideal for collectors seeking French abstract works on paper, minimal line drawings, or meditative, yoga-adjacent imagery. Keywords for collectors and interiors: mid century French art, abstract figurative, modernist ink drawing, black and white minimalism, biomorphic line art, Ecole de Paris. From the artist’s estate, this poised composition sits comfortably beside contemporary interiors or a gallery wall of works on paper, and pairs well with Guerin’s geometric canvases.
