Lee Ufan Arles invites the great American contemporary artist Pat Steir to take over Atelier MA, opposite Hôtel Vernon. The exhibition Pat Steir, Light on Water brings together two bodies of rare and previously unseen works on paper by the renowned artist Pat Steir. Known for her paintings, Steir has been actively drawing since the early 1970s. In 1989, Pat Steir began her celebrated Waterfall series, in which she cascades paint down the length of the canvas, deliberately abandoning her process to gravity and chance. At this time, Steir produced the six drawings that make up the Light on Water series by pouring and combining oil paint and watercolor on handmade paper. Drawings from the Light on Water series will be exhibited alongside an untitled series from 2005. Distilling her pictorial process down to the decisive moment of contact with paper, these drawings testify to the place given to chance in the artist's work, when she lets paint take on its own shape.
