Octavio HERRERA (born 1952) Composition, 1996 Acrylic on cardboard cut in a slipcase. Signed and dated on the back. 28 x 43.5 x 2.5 cm (with slipcase) Provenance : Galerie Claude Dorval, Paris. Born in Campo Carabobo (Venezuela), Octavio Herrera was a fellow member of the MADI group and moved to Paris in 1977. He was represented by Galerie Denise René between 1982 and 1989. "His great merit lies in his refusal to take the easy way out, and in his ability to build his own language from fundamental schemas, leading us to a rich visual game in which transparencies, superimpositions and real or virtual symmetries propose a veritable dialogue with the viewer." (Julio Le Parc)
