Fasl 1960

This geometric painting, Fasl, was made by Aurelie Nemours, though I’m not sure when or with what. It’s an exploration of how simple forms and colours can really mess with your head! The bright yellow band at the top and the violet in the middle, and the black square create an intense experience. I’m drawn to the way the violet colour seeps into the black square, like it's trying to blend in, or maybe escape. It makes me think about how colors interact and influence each other. Nemours isn't just laying down colors; she's setting up a dynamic relationship between them. The more I look, the more I see echoes of Josef Albers’ work with colour relationships, but Nemours brings a uniquely playful approach to her work. It's like she's inviting us to join a visual game, where the rules are simple, but the possibilities are endless.
