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 Emphemeral Art?
Ephemeral art is a type of art that occurs only once and typically lasts for a very short period. It cannot be displayed as a traditional work of art in a gallery or museum. Examples of ephemeral art include performances, happenings, sound sculptures, flyers, and mass-produced items. This art form emphasizes the transient nature of the experience, existing only in the moment and often leaving no lasting physical trace.
