Mosset, Olivier | Untitled (Solo & Pillon saddle), 2019 — available on Composition Gallery

Metal, plastic, foam and leather - Edition of 6 pieces (3 Solo & Pillon saddles, in 3 different colors + 3 Banana saddles in 3 different colors)

Untitled (Solo & Pillon saddle) by Olivier Mosset is a sculptural piece that combines industrial materials—metal, plastic, foam, and leather—into a minimalist yet visually intriguing composition. Created in 2019, this artwork features two black saddle-like forms mounted on a textured, partially painted wall. One saddle has a bold red square at its center, contrasting with the sleek black surface, adding a focal point of color to the otherwise understated piece. The piece plays with themes of utilitarian objects and abstraction, giving everyday forms an unexpected presence. Mosset’s exploration of shape, color, and context transforms these saddle forms into sculptural objects that blur the line between functional design and minimalist art.

Olivier Mosset (Switzerland, 1944) is a key figure in contemporary art, renowned for his minimalist and conceptual approach. A founding member of the BMPT group, his works often challenge traditional notions of authorship and originality. Best known for his monochromatic canvases and repeated geometric forms, Mosset has profoundly influenced postmodern abstraction.

Form

Sculpture / Object

Medium

Mixed Media

Mixed MediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

For me, the idea is that paintings are paintings.
- Olivier Mosset

A founding member of the BMPT art group, Olivier Mosset is a visual artist renowned for his monochrome paintings. The BMPT group was comprised of Mosset, Toroni, Parmentier and Buren – as a collective, they argued that the finished art project itself was more important than its original authorship, and often implied that they had created each other’s works; asides from this ambiguity, Mosset received acclaim for the hundreds of Neo-expressionist monochrome paintings such as Caroline, as well as his work as a founding member of the New York Radical Painting group. Mosset also received recognition for his ice sculptures created later in his career – known as Toblerones, these sculptures referenced the Swiss anti-road blocks created and used during the second World War.
