Nails, wood and acrylic paint. // Clou by Bernard Aubertin is a striking mixed-media artwork that combines nails, wood, and acrylic paint to create a textured, monochromatic red surface. Created in 1969, this piece exemplifies Aubertin's fascination with repetition and materiality, utilizing rows of nails embedded in a wooden panel and coated with vivid red acrylic. The nails create a rhythmic, tactile pattern that engages the viewer's sense of both sight and touch. The intense red color is characteristic of Aubertin’s work, echoing his association with the ZERO movement, which sought to reduce art to pure elemental forms and materials. Measuring 90 cm in height and 50 cm in width, this work is a bold exploration of form, texture, and the transformative power of color.

What is Process Art?
Process Art is an artistic movement and creative approach where the focus is on the act of creation rather than the final product. The term process in this context refers to the various stages of art-making, including gathering, sorting, associating, and organizing materials and actions. This movement emphasizes the artistic journey and the human expression involved in creating art, rather than the finished piece itself. Process Art is driven by inherent motivation, intentionality, and the rationale behind the actions, viewing the creative process as the true artwork.
