Olivier Mosset's 'Effacement' at Galerie PACT

Galerie PACT in Paris presents 'Effacement', an exhibition featuring two monumental canvases by Olivier Mosset: 'Yellow Stripe' (1989) and 'Swiss Coffee' (2002). The works, installed facing each other, span over a decade in creation. 'Yellow Stripe' shows a broad yellow band across a white surface, while 'Swiss Coffee' is painted in a slightly cream white, nearly merging with the wall. The exhibition emphasizes Mosset's minimalist approach, stripping away ornamental elements to focus on the essence of painting. It invites viewers to reconsider conventional readings of art—narrative, expression, technical virtuosity—and experience the canvas as a pure surface in tension with color. The show runs until July 16.
