Nails and acrylic on wood // Clou - with Pattern by Bernard Aubertin, created in 1966, is a mixed-media work that features nails and red acrylic on wood. Presented in a diamond orientation, this piece exemplifies Aubertin’s commitment to exploring texture, form, and the color red. The nails are meticulously arranged to create a structured, tactile surface, which interacts with the vibrant red paint to generate a subtle play of light and shadow. The repetitive arrangement of nails builds a hypnotic pattern that captures the viewer’s attention, inviting close examination of the details. Aubertin, known for his monochromatic red works, uses the nails not only as a structural component but as a medium of expression, symbolizing energy and rhythm. This artwork captures the artist’s fascination with materiality and minimalism, turning a simple red surface into a field of intense visual and physical engagement.

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.
