The Way of Georges Mathieu

Dellupi Arte dedicates a solo show to the father of lyrical abstraction: Georges Mathieu.
The exhibition aims to present a thoughtful selection of masterpieces representing the evolution and the creative journey of the artist. Second exhibition the gallery dedicates to Mathieu, the intention is a tribute to the precursor of lyrical abstraction, the artist who earned an uncommon position in the post-war art scene at the early age of twenty-six.

The exhibition proposes itself as a contained but comprehensive survey, which unfolds work after work to showcase the grandiose evolution of the artist from the early Fifties until the second half of the Eighties.
The theoretical innovation introduced by Mathieu is contextually accompanied by a profound technical novelty, given by the free approach on the canvas made by splashes of colour directly squeezed from the tube, manifesting refusal of the classic pictorial process and its instruments. The sign and the gesture that creates it are not fixed and static entities: they vary in time and space, taking on new meanings, experiencing changes and evolutions.
