The Evolution of Serial Abstraction
Guido Molinari was a Canadian artist recognized for his serial abstract paintings, characterized by a dynamic interplay of colors and a focus on modular shapes. His work often sought to create a fictional space that exists within the mind and involves the totality of perception. His celebrated Stripe series, created between 1963 and 1969, consisted of hard edge paintings featuring color in vertical bands of equal width placed on a flat picture plane.
As his practice evolved, Molinari moved into "checkerboard" paintings titled Structures, which divided verticals with horizontal lines. In 1971, he began bisecting each stripe to create a new format of triangles. His later explorations included the Quantificateur series and the Continuum series, which featured checkerboard paintings.
