Abstract Painting

Titled Taches de vie (“Marks of Life”), this 1968 gouache and ink painting on paper by Swiss artist Maurice Perrenoud bursts with rhythmic forms and raw gesture. Vivid orange, charcoal black, and soft creams interact across the surface in looping, almost cellular configurations. The composition pulses with movement, contained within a soft-lined frame that allows the raw edges of the paper to remain visible — a subtle nod to process and materiality.

“There’s something primal here — it feels alive, like a pulse on the wall.”
