The posthumous exhibition displays a selection of ink drawings and copper works, pyrochimiogrammes, by renowned Luxembourgish artist Arthur Unger, for which he gained international recognition. Some of the selected pieces, covering the years from 1970 to 2003, have already been displayed in various museum exhibitions. Inspired by his travels in Africa and Asia and the Art Informel movement marked by his friend and art critic Michel Tapié, this body of work represents his visionary art, reflecting his impressions of both continents. The ink drawings are primarily inspired by the aesthetics of Asian calligraphy: the most recent drawings are created through gestures and movements with the paintbrush, before being immersed into water. The artist has exhibited throughout Europe and China, with several major retrospectives in Luxembourg, France, and China dedicated to his work.
