Precisely cut forms emerge from the lacquered masonite surface, creating subtle shifts between positive and negative space as the light changes throughout the day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than relying on expressive gesture or colour, Dusépulchre constructs a quiet visual rhythm through proportion, repetition and carefully balanced forms. Rooted in the tradition of Constructivism and geometric abstraction, the work demonstrates his remarkable ability to transform simple geometric elements into compositions of striking visual complexity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrancis Dusépulchre (1934–2013) was a self-taught Belgian painter and sculptor who moved, around 1969, from an early surrealist figuration toward minimalist, constructed abstraction. The critic Robert Rousseau dubbed him a 'shadow-shower' for the way he let incisions and taut threads catch and release light across his panels. His monumental integrations can be found at Le Grand-Hornu and the Musée de Mariemont. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e Medium: Lacquered masonite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDate: n.d.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignature: Signed on the reverse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 101 × 70.5 × 4.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis artwork forms part of the maurice verbaet collection and can be viewed in our showroom at Volkstraat 58, Antwerp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"maurice verbaet collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58031905440127,"sku":"MV_022_Dusépulchre_untitled_8627","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/2307\/2055\/files\/2E6A2855.jpg?v=1785147854","url":"https:\/\/immodome-objects.be\/products\/francis-dusepulchre","provider":"Immodôme Objects","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
