Performance A-Un
Sur des paysages sonores de Steve Kaspar
The exhibition presents a series of drawings by Steve Kaspar from the Générations series, produced between 1992 and 1997. Created using mixed media on Steinbach paper, mainly in two formats, these works mark both a high point and a turning point in the artist’s career. Since the 1970s, Kaspar has developed his work through series, moving, in the early 1980s, from collage, colour and figuration to a gradual reduction in formal elements, whilst maintaining a constant interest in form and composition.
In the Générations series, white paper becomes a field of tension: a space in which lines, geometric shapes, signs and inscriptions overlap, repeating, transforming and dissolving. Influenced by his musical studies with Mauricio Kagel in Cologne, Steve Kaspar developed a hybrid visual language in which drawing takes on structures reminiscent of musical notation. Générations constitutes a major cycle in the artist’s visual work, prior to his shift towards music production, revealing a practice rooted between disciplines, between form and perception.
