About the artwork

This square format print features a grid-like composition rendered in two distinct colors: a vibrant red and a pale pink. The design consists of intersecting horizontal and vertical bands of red, which form a lattice structure. Within the interstices of this red grid, square and rectangular forms of pale pink are visible, creating a woven or interlaced visual effect. The regularity of the forms and the precision of the lines suggest a systematic approach to composition. The interplay between the red and pink elements generates a sense of visual rhythm and optical vibration. The glossy surface quality, typical of screen printing, contributes to the work's clean, industrial aesthetic. The strict adherence to geometric forms and a limited color palette aligns the piece with principles of Minimalism and Geometric Abstraction, emphasizing form, color, and surface over narrative or expressive content.

Expert opinion

The artwork aligns with the artist's broader exploration of repetition, seriality, and the reduction of artistic gesture. It reflects his post-BMPT period, where he continued to challenge traditional painting conventions through a focus on objective, non-referential forms and industrial techniques. The use of screen printing for a limited edition makes the work accessible while maintaining the artist's conceptual rigor. In the contemporary art market, works by artists associated with the BMPT group and later minimalist movements are sought after for their historical significance and intellectual foundations.

About the artist

Born in Berne in 1944, Olivier Mosset is a Swiss visual artist who lives and works in Arizona and Switzerland. He is best known to the public for having been part, in 1967 - 1968, of the movement initiated by four artists in revolt against the art establishment: Buren, Mosset, Parmentier and Toroni. Although he is now a major symbolic figure for the younger generation of contemporary European and American painters, little is known about the rest of his career. His work is not confined to the famous "Circles" of the BMPT period. Through geometric abstraction, monochrome and post-abstraction, she has been meditating for forty years on the future of painting in the age of globalized capitalism. Since 1977, he has lived between two continents, and thanks to this dialogue, he has built up a body of work in keeping with both American formats and Western critical reflection.
