Georges Mathieu, 1951-1969

Dellupi Arte will inaugurate the new exhibition year with the solo show Georges Mathieu. 1951 – 1969. The exhibition, organized in collaboration with the Comité Georges Mathieu, will focus on the production of the Fifties and Sixities of the father of Lyrical Abstraction, through a selection of works – mainly oil paintings on large canvases – chosen for their importance, quality and recognized value.

In thees years, Georges Mathieu already presents all the peculiar characteristics of his production: his unique application of color, directly squeezing the tube, races and quickly fixes his “writings” on the canvas.
As Mathieu himself states, the characteristics of his painting are: “The absence of premeditations in the forms and gestures, the need for a second level of concentration and the primacy accorded to freedom of execution”.

The artist often creates his paintings directly in front of a small audience, often venturing into real theatrical performances. The painter particularly cares about the spectacular values of these interventions, offering us already real performances in which the quick and agitated material painting becomes a cry, action, race, gesture, primordial word and psychic automatism.
