ART-REVIEW:Robert Motherwell-Open Series

Painting always holds the first place in Paris, especially if is the presentation for the first time in the city of Robert Motherwell’s mythic series “Open Series” created in the 1970s. The exhibition presents twenty works the one better and more important than the other, the visitor through a substantial and meaningful set-up, follows a path of colors, thoughts and emotions derived from the sequence between the different dimensions, color and charcoal. Elements that contribute in the creation of emotions that flow between the spiritual and the natural world. Inner, personal, meditative paths that intersect and meet through simple planes of color broken up by three lines rendered in charcoal and forming loosely rectangular shapes. The pure minimalism, the conceptual and philosophical standpoint are reflected in such momentum and decisive power in these works, that the viewer unconsciously follow a meditative-spiritual path… Participant and contributor to this, is the lighting that highlights the big shapes, but these shapes do not absorb you, they contain you and fuel you with light.-Efi Michalarou
