Cette rare œuvre est emblématique de la démarche intellectuelle et artistique de Mathieu : celle de faire rencontrer le geste, l'émotion, l'instinct et la matière. Cette œuvre est également devenue une référence pour le mouvement Gutai, en étant présentée dans les expositions les plus importantes dédiées à ce mouvement depuis la fin des années 1950. Réalisée dès son arrivée au Japon en septembre 1957 et encore dans des conditions tout à fait remarquables, elle est restée exclusivement au sein de prestigieuses collections japonaises. Elle est aujourd'hui, pour la première fois proposée en vente.Mathieu réalise le fond de cette toile par des mouvements circulaires systématiques entrainant ainsi une impression de vitesse et d'emballement du geste grâce à l'utilisation de chiffons imbibés de peinture rouge vif. Les éléments et les signes calligraphiés noirs et blancs directement appliqués au tube ou au pinceau se détachent automatiquement de ce fond. Ce choix de couleurs que l'on pourrait qualifier de primitives, cette virtuosité du geste qui transparaît dans ces lignes tantôt souples tantôt vives et saccadées apportent une puissance et une tension palpable. Cette œuvre, immortalisée dans son processus par les témoins de l'époque nous permet d'affirmer son caractère exceptionnel dès sa création.Cette œuvre est réalisée dans la salle de classe de Sōfū Teshigahara, le fondateur de l'école d'Ikebana Sogetsu-Ryu. C'est en septembre de cette même année que la Gutai Art Association expose L'exil de Go Daïgo dans l'île d'Oki dans deux grands magasins : Shirakiya à Tokyo, puis Daimaru à Osaka. Elle entre ensuite dans la collection de Jirō Yoshihara, le fondateur et « père spirituel » du mouvement Gutai. Ce mouvement signifie « concret », dans le sens de l'incarnation et place le geste et la matière au premier plan tout en initiant la performance dans l'art. Jirō Yoshihara affirme qu'il veut « créer quelque chose qui n'avait jamais existé auparavant ». Cette œuvre fut exposée également à Osaka en 1962 dans l'exposition Gutai Pinacotheca Opening Celebration Exhibition puis en 1966 dans l'exposition New Art from Abroad à Osaka. Preuve de l'intérêt pérenne et fondamental de cette œuvre, elle fut de nouveau exposée deux décennies plus tard dans Action et Emotion, Peintures des Années 50 : Informel, Gutai, Cobra en 1985, puis dans Special Exhibition : the Era of Avant-Garde Osaka en 2013. A l'occasion de cette exposition, Kato Mizuho (co-auteur du livre « Avant-Garde Art in Postwar Osaka » et professeur associé invité au musée d'Osaka, déclare que cette peinture est devenue le symbole des échanges entre les artistes Gutai et leurs contemporains étrangers.Cette toile fait référence à l'empereur Go Daïgo, qui, au XIVe siècle, essaie par deux fois de renverser le shoguna de Kamatra. Son dernier coup d'Etat échoue et ses plans sont révélés. L'armée Bakufu le défait et il est contraint à l'exil dans la province d'Oki. L'empereur Go Daïgo finit par s'échapper, reconstituer une armée, récupérer son trône et ambitionne de devenir le plus puissant dirigeant de l'Est.Il n'est pas étonnant que Mathieu ait choisi de rendre hommage à cet épisode historique du Japon. Mathieu possédait une immense culture, il était féru d'Histoire et était fasciné par les faits d'armes et la noblesse. Jean Cocteau disait de son ami « Georges Mathieu est un grand seigneur, tout ce qu'il touche devient féodal et noble. Il fait revivre dans le règne de l'art une aristocratie morte, la sienne étant mille fois plus légitime que l'aristocratie du Gotha. Mallarmé dirait 'une ari...

SheOne (British, b. 1969)H, 2012Spray paint on canvasSigned, titled and dated in roman numerals in black marker pen verso60 x 60 cm (23 x 23 in)London born James Choules, who started spray painting under his moniker ‘SheOne’, was part oft he first wave of UK street artists in the early 1980s. His abstract, mostly monochromatic paintings of strokes and splashes, many of contrasting colour schemes like black and white, have earned him fame and recognition across UK borders. SheOne’s work can be found on his collaboration with URBAN NATION on Project M/5 in 2014.Originally working exclusively with spray-paints in the streets, Choules managed to transition his unique, fluid style of light and shade from its uneven outdoors surfaces onto canvas, prolonging its longevity. His work is inspired by new wave typography and Eastern calligraphy as well as Eastern philosophy, which describes art as an extension of expressions and feelings, unlike western views, which focus more on the culture of a painting. As a self-taught artist of almost three decades, SheOne has collaborated with and exhibited his work in galleries around the world.This lot is also sold subject to Artists Resale Rights, details of which can be found in our Terms and Conditions.
