An outstanding post‑cubist geometric composition by André Morin (France, 20th Century), this dynamic work—executed in gouache and watercolor—showcases the artist's command of color, form, and spatial tension. Signed at the lower right, André Morin.
Geometric abstraction emerged in the early 20th century, as artists were captivated by the expressive potential of pure shape and color. From Constructivism and Suprematism to later Minimalist tendencies, these movements embraced non‑representational forms built from lines, angles, and mathematically influenced structures. Morin's work stands firmly within this lineage, using geometry not as a rigid system but as a vibrant language of visual energy.
In this composition, interlocking donut forms and geometric forms satellites appear to float and collide across the surface, their volumes articulated through primary colors of red, blue, green, and yellow. Strong black linear accents bind the forms together, creating a rhythmic architecture that animates the entire field. The result is a highly colorful, visually powerful image in which shape and chromatic contrast define the artist's perception of space.
The artwork is presented in an elegant black wooden frame featuring a subtly striped, textured pattern and a gray‑and‑black matte with glass protection—an ideal complement to the work's modernist geometry.
A striking example of mid‑century French geometric abstraction, perfect for collectors seeking bold color, sculptural form, and strong visual presence.

Note: André Morin (born 1952, France)
André Morin is a French contemporary artist born in 1952—listed in some art‑market records as born in Dijon and in others as born in Châtellerault. His work spans painting, drawing, and mixed media, with a particular focus on abstract geometric constructions and the expressive potential of color relationships.
Active since the 1970s, Morin has exhibited in major French institutions. His compositions often explore the tension between structure and spontaneity, using interlocking forms, chromatic variation, and rhythmic linework to build dynamic visual fields.
Today, he is recognized for a body of work that bridges mid‑century modernist influences with a distinctly contemporary sensitivity to color, balance, and abstraction.
