Abstract 

This untitled abstract work is by Roger Bissière. Immediately, one is struck by the overall structure: a dense, intricate network of geometric forms laid out across the picture plane. Predominantly, the forms are rectangular shapes outlined in blue, filled with ochre and grey hues, creating a mosaic-like texture. The composition appears non-hierarchical, with each element given equal weight, yet the eye is drawn to the singular red circle, placed asymmetrically near the lower right corner. This disrupts the otherwise uniform field, introducing tension and a focal point. Considering structuralist theory, the painting reads like a language system where individual forms act as signs. These signs, though abstract, evoke a sense of architectural or urban planning. Bissière's arrangement challenges traditional perspective. It questions notions of space and representation. The tension between uniformity and disruption emphasizes the instability of meaning. It prompts ongoing interpretation.
