Waddington's Auction House Biography and Notes

Whether it be minimalist paintings on steel or contorted metal sculpture, artist René-Pierre Allain’s techniques transform surfaces. Utilizing various materials, including chemicals, acids and fire, the artist warps his subjects until they become an ideal manifestation of his creative vision. Allain began his career as a sculptor, studying Visual Arts at the University of Ottawa before graduating in 1982. His interest in sculpture developed into his distinct object paintings that explore the foundations of material. The cool colours that appear in 5th Group Flash, No.3 and Open Warp #6 (lot 47) are signature in his work, complimenting the tonal quality of iron while employing the physical element in both cases. Produced in 1999 for the series “Warps”, Open Warp #6 exceeds its steel frame, as Allain would manipulate steel bands and plates by hand and then configure them as a pictorial surface, creating a crossover between painting and sculpture.
