Untitled 

Michel Carrade created this "Untitled" artwork with what appears to be acrylic or oil, featuring an array of striking colors. The canvas is divided into vertical bands of varying widths, dominated by intense hues of red, pink, blue and orange. The composition evokes a sense of rhythm, as the colors and bands create an almost musical visual harmony. Carrade plays with the interaction of colors, as each band influences the perception of its neighbor. The boundaries are soft, allowing hues to bleed into each other, generating gradients that destabilize rigid categorization. This approach to form and color is reminiscent of the color field painting that emerged in the mid-20th century. Carrade questions conventional notions of space and representation. Rather than depicting objects, the artwork becomes its own object, existing as a field of pure color and form. This piece invites us to reconsider our understanding of aesthetics and to appreciate the intrinsic qualities of color.
