Description:
An elegant and dramatic black-and-white abstract composition by French artist Serge Guerin (b. 1916). Executed in acrylic and gouache on artists paper, this striking work explores the expressive potential of geometric form through energetic white linear structures that cut dynamically across a deep black ground. The overlapping arcs, spires and intersecting lattices convey both rhythm and velocity, producing a visual tension between control and spontaneity. The composition evokes movement reminiscent of sound waves, light trails or architectural blueprints, while remaining firmly rooted in the formal vocabulary of post-war European abstraction.
Guerin was associated with the French School of geometric abstraction that flourished during the mid-twentieth century. His works combine the precision of Constructivism with the freedom of gestural modernism, resulting in compositions that feel both architectural and organic. The monochrome palette here emphasises line and balance, revealing the artist’s mastery of spatial construction and painterly technique.
Perfect for collectors of French modernist, monochrome or mid-century abstract art, this piece offers a timeless and minimalist aesthetic ideal for contemporary interiors. Its bold contrast and crisp forms make it a statement artwork suited to gallery or domestic display. Unframed and ready for presentation, this painting represents an authentic example from Serge Guerin’s estate—an opportunity to acquire a refined, rare mid-century French geometric abstraction distinguished by its harmony and energy.
