Texture and surface. The great innovations of post-war abstract painting are concentrated at their intersection. Atypical materials, expressive gestures, mistreated surfaces, etc. The artists who defined their singularity by inventing a new artistic language knew no limits. 

From March 10th to April 30th, 2022, the A&R Fleury gallery presents Intersections, an exhibition designed as a dialogue between the techniques developed by the gallery’s artists. It focuses on their constant search for innovation through materiality, by means of textural or surface effects. 

In a unique movement, escaping the categorisation of their work, each exhibited artist renewed the notion of painting, transforming its visual reality, thereby opening up new methods of expression. The history of abstraction has been significantly and lastingly influenced by their pioneering research. 

The exhibition brings together approximately twenty major works that testify to the diversity of the artists’ practices, to better reveal the Intersections.
