1971 "Urral"

37" x 62"

Guillaume Leunens

Thanks to his personal experiences, this Flemish Parisian has succeeded in giving his smooth surfaces a whole range of warm harmonious gradations, ranging from dull to brilliant, from understated modulations to radiant reliefs on black ground. We find trails of color and receding lines whose light touch brings to life the inspiration, the depth and the magic of the monochrome surfaces.

These remarkable metallic monochromes by Leunens show even more the mature talent of this artist as for the use of his resources.

The result is graphical poetry.
