A tribute to Soulages: Outrenoir and beyond - curated by Rose Boutboul

A curation by Rose Boutboul, Independent Curator at - This selection celebrates the legacy of Pierre Soulages by exploring the power of black, not as an absence of color, but as a source of light. Through a variety of textures—from tarry to striated, from matte to glossy—these works question relief and matter. Here we find this quest for "beyond black," where the artist's hand sculpts darkness to bring forth unexpected reflections. Between radical abstraction and plays of contrast (gold, white, deep blue), this curated selection invites contemplation on the density and vibration of pigment. An immersion in an art of structure and purity.
