Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Acrylic, a paint that adapts

Acrylic paint and its design

Acrylic is a paint whose solvent is largely composed of water. It is made from a mixture of pigments and acrylic resin and dries by evaporation of the water it contains.

The American printers Leonard Bocour and Sam Golden invented a first version of acrylic paint and put it on sale in 1949. Subsequently, the chemist Henry Levinson created artistic acrylic paint in 1963, diluted in water. Painters such as Andy Warhol and David Hockney used it very quickly. In Mexico, it was also designed around 1950. Chemists, in collaboration with Mexican mural painters, developed it during the creation of frescoes on the facades of the University of Mexico.

Description
This work of Säme is part of a reflection on the duality between rigor and fluidity, between control and letting go. Inspired by Mark Rothko's approach, particularly his exploration of color fields and the emotions they convey, Säme chose to introduce a strong visual tension here by playing on the contrast between two plastic languages. The sharp and precise edges of the fluorescent green rectangle contrast with the blurred and almost ethereal transitions of the surrounding blue and white areas. This contrast translates a dynamic between order and chaos, between the human and the natural. The green rectangle, by its intensity and rigor, acts as a visual anchor, a point of stability within a moving and uncertain space.
