Denis Juneau’s painting and sculpture embody, in his own words, “movement in the world…nuclear movement, the perceptual movement in space, the invisible vibration of sound, the movement of the beat of our hearts.” Through the use of bold colour and a strict geometric vocabulary, his works are astonishingly dynamic, and Jaune et bleu sur blanc is no exception. This work is composed of a grid of blue and yellow circles - each half is the exact mirror reflection of the other, with the lower-right circles being primarily blue and the upper-left, yellow. Through these subtle interplays of tone and contrast, the artist achieves the illusion of movement, as the composition seems to ripple towards its diagonal centre. Juneau was an important figure from the second generation of Plasticiens, along with Guido Molinari and Claude Tousignant. He studied industrial design from 1954 to 1956 at the Centro Studi Arte-Industria in Novara, Italy. He was awarded the Gershon Iskowitz Prize and the prix Paul-Émile Borduas. His works are included in museum collections such as the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec and the National Gallery of Canada.
