Horsphère

'Horsphère' by Jean Degottex exemplifies his exploration of Abstract art, drawing inspiration from East Asian calligraphy and Zen philosophy to erase the creative subject and emphasize pure form. The painting's subtle, expressive gestures evoke a sense of spontaneity and lyrical abstraction, aligning with his roots in the Abstract movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Degottex's approach also reflects elements of Minimalism, stripping down to essential marks that convey emotion and movement. 'Horsphère' stands as a significant work in the second half of the twentieth century, inspiring contemporary artists with its meditative, intangible quality.
