À propos
From 1951 onwards, while living in Eygalières, Mario Prassinos undertook a series of drawings devoted to the Alpilles, which he continued until the end of the 1970s. The work presented here is from the early stages of this cycle.
Exploring rocks, faults, and ravines, he drew on them to create a veritable alphabet of signs, nourished by observation and meditation on the ever-changing motif.
Between mastery and chance, a moving figure unfolds, open to our interpretation. The black and white, reinforced by Indian ink, brings power and spontaneity, capturing the moment with limited means: lines and dots, close to calligraphy.
This unique style places his work in the vein of “abstract landscape painting,” alongside Zao Wou-Ki, Szenes, and Messagier.
