Untitled 1973

Claude Georges made this untitled painting without a date, using fluid marks and a controlled palette. He lets the paint run and drip, embracing chance. For Georges, artmaking seems to be a process of letting go. The surface has these thin washes and sharp lines, a combo that gives it a raw feel. Look at the center, how the colors mix—oranges, blacks, whites, all colliding. It's like a storm of feeling caught right there. The paint isn’t trying to hide anything, the textures are there for us to see. That scribble, that dash of color—each one tells a tiny story of how the piece was made. It's a little like some of Joan Mitchell's more grounded works, where she’s wrestling with form but letting the gesture lead. Art is a conversation, and Georges seems to be speaking with the Abstract Expressionists, but with his own quiet accent. It’s not about answers, but about how we keep asking questions.
