Sans titre / Superbagnères is a captivating work on paper, and it is one of great importance in Jean Paul Riopelle’s oeuvre. At the end of 1964 and the beginning of 1965, Riopelle went on a skiing vacation at Superbagnères in the Pyrénées. From the very beginning of his trip, a knee injury forced him off the slopes. Wanting to keep busy, Riopelle had his friends send him materials to work with: inks, pastels, gouache, acrylic, watercolours and his sketchbook. He then created a series of works on paper inspired by the breathtaking views of the mountains he witnessed. Here, a complex web-like network of sharp, calligraphic black lines is arranged atop a colourful backdrop. The pictorial surface of the work, an organic and dynamic whole, is remarkably expressive and invites our eye to dance across it. The artist’s energy is palpable, expressed through his ample brush-strokes and the tangled colours and lines.
