Bernard Aubertin

A dense monochrome field of saturated red is punctuated by an ordered constellation of iron nails, their heads articulating a low relief that animates the surface with measured rhythm and light. Driven at regular intervals across the support, the clous transform the painting into a tactile matrix: metallic highlights flare and recede against the red ground, while the physical penetration of the nails compresses and stresses the plane, converting color into structure. Aubertin’s calibrated spacing and depth produce a vibratory optical effect—an austere but sensorial choreography in which repetition, seriality, and the elemental force of red cohere into a rigorously constructed relief painting.Created in 1961, this Tableau Clous is an early-period work from the moment Aubertin expanded his Tableaux Rouges into relief and action, aligning with the ZERO movement’s postwar reset toward clarity and phenomena. In dialogue with contemporaries exploring monochrome and material processes (from Yves Klein’s chromatic absolutism to the serial reliefs that define ZERO’s vocabulary), Aubertin’s nails enact a zero-degree of painting: gesture yields to procedure, and light, surface, and time become the true agents of form—a position that presages his Combustions and fire paintings while retaining the disciplined intensity of Minimal Art. Documented under the archival reference TCLR16-1000395423 and emerging from a Private Collection in Italy, the work bears strong provenance and scholarly traceability; works from this cycle have been contextualized in international museum surveys of ZERO and are present in public collections. For collectors, an early 1961 nail painting represents a significant example from the artist’s definitive period and a museum-grade acquisition within the canon of European avant-garde relief and monochrome. An elemental monochrome animated by serial relief, the work crystallizes Aubertin’s zero-degree painting at the moment of its emergence.

naor

The "Panda Boxe" sculpture by French artist Naor captures the essence of playful yet provocative contemporary art. Blending his distinctive Pop Art influences, Naor infuses this piece with a striking combination of innocence and aggression.

It invites viewers to ponder the tension between innocence and struggle, luxury and simplicity, ultimately offering a reflection on life’s contrasts.

Bernard Aubertin

Bernard Aubertin’s Dessin de Feu Circulaire (1971) presents a disciplined circular inscription wrought directly by flame on a metal support: a ring of matchsticks was meticulously aligned and ignited so that heat and combustion drew the work’s form. The industrial surface registers the event—scorched halos, subtle oxidations, and residues of char—while the surviving fragments of matches punctuate the circumference with a cadence of blackened and ashen intervals. As in Aubertin’s most rigorous actions of fire, the artist establishes the structure and the material conditions, and then yields the completion of the drawing to energy itself; here, the circle becomes both geometry and process, a controlled locus for entropy and time.Created in 1971, the work belongs to Aubertin’s mid-career consolidation of his fire practice, extending the ZERO movement’s pursuit of a “zero-degree” of painting into a phenomenology of heat, risk, and chance. Emerging from his Tableaux Rouges and match reliefs of the early 1960s—and catalyzed by Yves Klein’s monochromes and the experimental ethos shared with Lucio Fontana—Aubertin’s Dessins de Feu formalize the act of combustion as drawing, with the circular motif resonating as a sign of origin, void, and return. With provenance to Galleria Centro and Galleria Dalìano Ribani, and documented in the artist’s archive under DFEA17-1000199523, the piece carries strong institutional-ready credentials; works from this fire corpus have been repeatedly contextualized in museum surveys of ZERO and postwar European avant-garde. A museum-grade example of Aubertin’s definitive “fire painting” method, this documented 1971 Dessin de Feu offers collectors a rare, collection-worthy articulation of process at the threshold of material and time, where the circle anchors the zero-degree of image and event.

Bernard Aubertin

A saturated red monochrome coalesces into relief: an orchestration of industrial nails driven rhythmically into the support and unified under a single, incandescent field of red. The hammered matrix—heads catching light, shanks casting minute shadows—creates a vibrating topography where the surface itself becomes an instrument of measure and perception. Aubertin’s Tableau Clous channels a ritualized, serial action: the hammering is method and mark alike, replacing expressive brushwork with a calibrated cadence that inscribes duration and physical energy into matter. The red field operates as totality and veil, binding metal and ground into one optical and tactile continuum, while the varying incidence of light across the nail heads activates the work’s phenomenological pulse.Created in 1970, this work belongs to Aubertin’s mature ZERO continuum, a decisive phase in which his monochrome investigations expanded from the early Tableaux Rouges into relief (nails) and action (matches and combustions). Post-1960s and in dialogue with the ZERO movement’s “reset” of painting—alongside Klein’s chromatic absolutism and Fontana’s spatial incision—Aubertin pursued a zero-degree of image where authorship yields to process, seriality, and elemental phenomena. Within this period, the Tableau Clous corpus stands as a canonical articulation of monochrome relief, aligning with contemporaneous Minimal Art and postwar avant-garde reductions while retaining the charged symbolism of red as life force and limit. Documented under archive no. TCLR86-1000433723 and bearing Italian provenance from Christiano Art Gallery, the work is securely situated within the artist’s recognized oeuvre; related nail and fire works have been foregrounded in major ZERO surveys and institutional reappraisals. For collectors, a 1970 Tableau Clous is a significant example from the artist’s definitive period—museum-grade both in historical import and material rigor. A lucid manifestation of ZERO’s reset, this Tableau Clous unites monochrome discipline with rhythmic relief to render time, energy, and light as the very substance of painting.

Henry Escobar

Soucieuse XL by Henry Escobar commands the room with an immersive, large-format presence, its title casting a pensive hush across a refined, contemporary field. The composition breathes through layered veils and disciplined mark-making, where soft gradations meet crisp, decisive contours. Texture is orchestrated with exacting control—built through additive and subtractive processes of layering, gentle erasures, and measured reworking—so the surface slips from silky calm to subtly abraded passages that catch and release light. Escobar balances gesture with precision, allowing negative space to carry as much weight as the marks themselves, yielding a poised equilibrium of tension and serenity.At once introspective and architectural, Soucieuse XL advances Escobar’s exploration of how thought becomes form—an elegant dialogue between restraint, memory, and the immediacy of the hand. Its clarity of structure and contemplative mood make it a compelling acquisition for collectors who value works that reward prolonged looking and anchor sophisticated spaces.

Nicole Lubbers

Delfts by Nicole Lubbers is a luminous orchestration of Delft-blue hues and porcelain whites, distilling the elegance of centuries-old ceramic tradition into a crisp contemporary vision. Cool tonal fields glide across the surface, punctuated by refined linework and tile-like intervals that invite the eye to wander. Glaze-like transparencies pool and recede against saturated cobalt passages, while measured negative space gives the composition an airy, architectural poise. The result is a rhythmic interplay of precision and softness that feels both timeless and distinctly modern.Lubbers’ craftsmanship reveals itself in her disciplined layering and deft control of edge, opacity, and tempo. She calibrates each passage to catch and release light throughout the day, balancing velvety depths with translucent veils that echo the optical richness of fired glaze while remaining unequivocally painterly.
