GERARD TITUS-CARMEL Galerie Lelong, 1991

This original exhibition poster was created in 1991 for an exhibition by Gérard Titus-Carmel at Galerie Lelong, one of the leading contemporary art galleries in Paris known for representing major international artists. Printed as an offset lithograph, the poster exemplifies Titus-Carmel’s highly distinctive abstract visual language, characterized by gestural mark-making, layered forms, and rhythmic linear movement.

The composition unfolds through sweeping black brush-like strokes set against a luminous field of warm creams and ochres, punctuated by vivid orange-red accents and delicate crosshatched elements. The energetic interplay between structure and spontaneity creates a sense of movement and tension, reflecting Titus-Carmel’s ongoing exploration of fragmentation, memory, and the poetic possibilities of abstraction.

Known for bridging drawing, painting, and printmaking, Titus-Carmel developed a deeply personal vocabulary in which forms appear simultaneously organic and architectural. This poster captures the immediacy and physicality of his work while retaining the elegance and restraint associated with French contemporary abstraction of the late 20th century.

Produced during the pre-digital poster era, the work reflects the high standards of European exhibition printing, with rich tonal depth and strong graphic clarity. As an original exhibition poster rather than a later reproduction, it also serves as an authentic historical document of the artist’s important 1991 Paris exhibition.

A striking and highly decorative work, appealing to collectors of postwar European abstraction, French contemporary art, and important gallery-issued posters.
