2017Genevieve Asse - Set

The work of Geneviève Asse reproduced on the stamp is a composition of 9 rectangles of oil-painted wallpapers and glued on a white support. The layout of each rectangle is designed so that the blues, the gradients, the lines and the variations of intensity that compose them answer each other. The diagonals, the horizontal and the vertical create interactions between the different elements and punctuate the composition. The work is an arrangement of Spaces and Lights, concepts that have been at the heart of Geneviève Asse's artistic reflection for more than 70 years. Artist of abstract painting mainly working in blue color, Geneviève Asse proposes in her last canvases flat bright, calm and captivating. His painting is accurate, done in one movement with oil painting and allows no recovery. She superimposes layers of colors to arrive at this characteristic intensity of her work.
