Inspired by the works of artists such as Braque and Malevich, Fluer by French artist Hubert Mardi merges graphic elements with hints of realism. Divided by a rough, hand-drawn semi-circle, two black forms emerge from the beige background. Utilizing layers of acrylic paint and varnish, simple lines are removed from these layers through engraving – in this case a single line travels across the composition to reveal a leaf. The contrasting use of textural paint and thin linework creates a piece that is minimal yet layered and intriguing.
