Olivier DEBRÉ (1920-1999) - Lot 227
Olivier DEBRÉ (1920-1999) Composition India ink on paper, signed lower right 140 x 80 cm Framed under glass PROVENANCE Galerie Leif Stähle, Karlsholmsvägen 11, Stockholm, Sweden. The condition report is available on request from the following e-mail address: contact@neo-encheres.com NOTICE Olivier Debré, French painter and figure of lyrical abstraction, is renowned for his subtle, evocative compositions, in which color and form blend to express sensations and impressions of landscapes. In this Composition in Indian ink, Debré explores a different register from his large, colorful canvases, favoring black and white and contrasts. The work, signed lower right, shows a delicate mastery of ink, where fluid lines and dark solids create a balance between intensity and lightness. With a precise, minimalist gesture, Debré composes abstract forms that suggest movement and depth, translating a poetic dimension where space seems to breathe. The nuances of the ink and variations in density add a rich, tactile texture, giving the composition a timeless elegance. Close in his approach to the gesture of Pierre Soulages, for whom black becomes a luminous color, and inspired by oriental calligraphy, Debré here exploits the essence of abstraction with powerful simplicity. This Composition in Indian ink bears witness to his interest in pure forms and meditative atmospheres, revealing another facet of his work, where economy of means expresses emotional and visual depth.
