“Abstract art is what I name any art that neither recalls nor contains any evocation of observed reality whether or not it be the artist’s starting point” (Michel Ragon)
Abstraction has always been Marcel Zelmanovitch’s preferred area of focus in his career as an artist and in his work as a textile designer. It is, in fact, this abstraction that propels him so naturally from one to the other using the multiple media at his disposal for the expression of his art. The artist adds matter to shape and colour and plays with it as a source of boundless expression: at times rough and sharp like the wooden surfaces of the objects that are exhibited, at others soft and delicate like the velvet of these rugs.
