Beginning with splash and dribbled painting techniques, which mirrored the 1950's Abstract Expressionist American School, Pierre Soulages has built a remarkable body of work, centred around his attraction for the transfiguration of light and colour.

What is Gestural?

What is Gestural?

Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
