United in their search for an expressive form of abstraction, released from the norms established by Geometric Abstraction, Chu and Mathieu preferred to let themselves be guided by memory, emotion, and immediacy. In their search for a new pictorial language, both artists were influenced by sign and calligraphy. Abstract art progressed significantly in Europe and the United States after the Second World War.

Poetic and sophisticated, Opera Gallery New York welcomes you to Chu Teh-Chun and Georges Mathieu in New York, Compositions in Rhythm, and invites you to explore this symphonic dialogue between both artists– one about spirituality and musicality.
