    #Repost @galerieperrotin ・・・ 💫 Georges Mathieu’s current exhibition at Perrotin Hong Kong explores the development of his calligraphic language in the 1980s. Early in his career, Mathieu established a parallel between his work and Chinese calligraphy, notably their shared characteristic of spontaneity. In the 1940s, he was the first to consider a theory of abstract calligraphy and the principle that signs could precede their meanings. Then, following a dialogue with Dr. Chou Ling and China’s 20th-century master of calligraphy Zhang Daqian in 1956, Mathieu published an essay titled “Connections between certain aspects of lyrical, nonfigurative painting and Chinese calligraphy.” In it, he asserted that unlike Western calligraphy, which was limited to the “art of copying,” the most liberated works of Lyrical Abstraction underwent the same “processes” as the calligraphy of the Far East, exuding “a primacy of the speed of execution,” the absence of any “preexistence of form,” and of any “premeditation of gesture,” and an “ecstatic state.” — Georges Mathieu 📍 Perrotin Hong Kong 📆 On view through December 21, 2019 — #GeorgesMathieu #LyricalAbstraction #NahmadContemporary #PerrotinHongKong #Perrotin — Views of Georges Mathieu's solo exhibition at Perrotin Hong Kong, 2019.

    #Repost @galerieperrotin ・・・ Opening today at Perrotin Hong Kong! #GeorgesMathieu's solo exhibition showcases never-before-seen works from the 1980s. 💥 The 1980s, or more specifically the years between 1983 to 1991, correspond to a well-known era in France and Italy. Described by some as “cosmic,” a sort of pictorial “star wars,” and by others as a “barbaric” time, the 1980s were a turning point for Mathieu’s art following his numerous experiments in the 1960s and 1970s involving geometric variations and the applied arts. In this decade, Mathieu returned to antigeometric lyricism and depicted his calligraphic language of the 1950s in a totally new form. The works display vehement gestures, broken lines, explosions of painting and color, highly contrastive colors, and in some, the background forms a striking impression of cavernous depths. — 喬治·馬修於貝浩登香港的個展今天開幕！展覽呈現馬修80年代未曾展出過的畫作，歡迎蒞臨畫廊觀展！ 馬修80年代的作品（更明確地說是1983至1991年間繪畫的油畫）呼應當時於法國和意大利極富盛名的藝術時期，而該時期正在亞洲出現迴響。在經過1960與1970年代多次嘗試幾何變化與應用藝術的實驗後，馬修來到1980年代的轉捩點。有人形容為「宇宙風格」，有如圖像化的「星際戰爭」；有人則指是「蠻荒」時期。1980年代馬修亦回歸反幾何的抒情主義，及他在1950年代採用的書法語言，不過以全新的形式再現，除了強烈的肢體演繹、斷續的線條、顏料與色彩的爆發、對比鮮明的顏色，更不時配以過目難忘的深邃背景。 — Georges Mathieu 📍 Perrotin Hong Kong 📆 November 21 – December 21, 2019 — #LyricalAbstraction #NahmadContemporary #PerrotinHongKong #Perrotin — Views of Georges Mathieu's solo exhibition at Perrotin Hong Kong, 2019.

Founder of Lyrical Abstraction, Georges Mathieu is considered a pioneer of Action Painting, and public performances. During the 1950s, Mathieu executed large canvases in front of audiences all around the world. Often compared to Jackson Pollock, Franz Kline, or Zao Wou-Ki, his work has left its mark on the history of painting.
