-12°

"-12°" by Alfred Manessier exemplifies his mastery of Abstract art within the Art informel movement. The painting, created with oil paints, features dynamic, non-figurative forms and expressive textures that evoke a sense of cold, tension, and spirituality. Manessier, known for his work as a stained glass artist and tapestry designer, seamlessly integrates lyrical abstraction with a deeply emotional undertone. As part of the new School of Paris and the Salon de Mai, his work reflects the innovative spirit of mid-20th-century French Art informel—challenging traditional figurative approaches and emphasizing spontaneous creation. " -12°" stands as a powerful example of his ongoing exploration of abstract forms and expressive surfaces."
