Abstract painting "Homage to Pierre Soulages" by Lucien Vignolle

Abstract painting “Homage to Pierre Soulages” by Lucien Vignolle. France, 1990. Lucien Vignolle — “Homage to Soulages” (black & blue). A painter from Roubaix (born in 1934), Vignolle blends painting and graphic design with a penchant for paying homage to modernists. Here, he draws inspiration from Pierre Soulages and Outrenoir (Beyond Black): the structured black captures the light, while the blue adds depth and vibrancy. The surface plays with horizontal/vertical rhythms, striations, and reliefs that create a play of matte and glossy textures. The result is powerful, luminous, and highly decorative, faithful to the spirit of Soulages while remaining personal in its graphic construction.
