About Lefébure, Jean

A signatory of the Prisme d’yeux manifesto, Jean Lefébure developed an aesthetic of great intellectual rigor. His style, initially influenced by Automatism, evolved toward an architectural abstraction. It is characterized by the use of wide bands of sober colors and a nearly mathematical spatial organization, where light appears to emanate from the interaction between masses.

His artistic philosophy centered on the search for pure plastic truth. For Lefébure, art was not an imitation but a construction of the mind. He sought to create an autonomous visual language, free from narration, where the balance of forms and the vibration of tones alone suffice to evoke profound emotion. His work is a meditation on structure, order, and silence.
