What is
ACTION PAINTING?
Born in the 1940-50s in the United States, action painting (or “gestural painting”) is a form of artistic expression where the gesture counts as much, or even more, than the final result.
We project, we splash, we pour, we tap, we let the body express itself.
the canvas becomes the reflection of a movement, of an energy, of an emotion.
The origins of action painting
Action painting was born in post-war America, driven by a need for rupture, spontaneity, and freedom. It is part of the larger movement of abstract expressionism, where painting becomes a means of inner liberation.
Popularized by artists such as Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning or Franz Kline, this trend is based on a simple idea: it is no longer the result that counts, but the gesture itself. We paint on the ground, we use dripping (drops, jets), we let the paint live.
It is a physical, emotional, instinctive art that invites you to let go. A visual and mental revolution in the history of contemporary art.
