Jean-Pierre LÉPY's painting seems to be influenced by various American abstract movements such as the Colorfield movement which appeared in the United States after the Second World War, and whose aim was to create tensions between coloured "fields" reflecting the spiritual state of the artists and aiming to trigger a purely pictorial emotion in the viewer.
These evocations of an opaque, colour-saturated, two-dimensional universe are limited only by the horizontal line that separates the monochrome fields. It is this recurring theme that the artist seems to decline endlessly, an invitation to meditation and silence.
