Screen print on PVC paper - These three screen prints are from the collective portfolio « 9 x 5 konkret. 9 Künstler. 5 Farben » (Adrian, Alviani, Bill, Calderara, Loewensberg, Mavignier, Novosad, Wilding, Morellet). Chartres is in reference to the stained glass windows of the Chartres Cathedral in France, that Morellet was very fond of. // Chartres - bleu violet by François Morellet, created in 1973, is a silkscreen print characterized by a meticulously arranged grid of alternating blue, red, and purple squares. Set against a black background, this geometric composition produces a hypnotic effect as the colors interact, creating a sense of depth and movement. The repetitive and systematic design draws inspiration from the stained glass windows of the Chartres Cathedral, capturing the interplay of light and color that Morellet admired in the cathedral's architecture. This piece reflects Morellet’s interest in color theory, mathematical precision, and optical perception, crafting an experience that is both visually stimulating and intellectually engaging.

What is ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
