EXHIBITED
Musée d'art contemporain de Baie Saint-Paul, Henry Saxe, November 23, 2019 - November 8, 2020 (this work had been part of the earlier portion of the exhibition)


Henry Saxe a repoussé les limites de la toile traditionnelle afin de proposer une œuvre qui se situe à mi-chemin entre le tableau et la sculpture. Ouverte, l’œuvre est composée de petites surfaces brisées qui réfléchissent la lumière. L’artiste a ensuite peint de larges traits de couleur rouge directement sur la plaque d’aluminium travaillée.

À partir des années 1960, l’artiste Henry Saxe s’est démarqué par la réalisation de sculptures prenant appui directement au sol et dont la configuration pouvait être adaptée selon l’espace d’exposition. Saxe s’est également intéressé aux nouveaux modes de productions industriels en s’engageant dans une production dominée par le travail du métal, son matériau de prédilection.

Henry Saxe pushed the limits of the traditional canvas in order to propose a work that is halfway between painting and sculpture. The work is open and made of small broken surfaces that reflect light. The artist then painted broad strokes of red directly on the toiled aluminum plate.

From the 1960s, Saxe distinguished himself by producing sculptures that rest directly on the ground and whose configuration could be adapted to the exhibition space. He was also interested in new industrial manufacturing methods, leading him to engage in a production dominated by metalwork, his preferred material.
