Created in 1964, it features superimposed planes and textures , evoking certain works by Pierre Soulages through the depth and expressive force of the brushstrokes. The layers and impasto also recall the work of Hans Hartung for its linear dynamism and that of Jean-Paul Riopelle for its pictorial density and free-flowing gestures. The textured, almost sculptural areas may recall certain abstract periods of Zao Wou-Ki, where movement becomes language and rhythm. The painting is distinguished by its gestural energy , where brushstrokes and fluid movements breathe a particular life into the surface by playing with light, relief and materials, creating areas of shadow and light that accentuate the depth and dynamism of the composition.
