Godefroy opens his workshop at 67, rue Bouvreuil in Rouen. He then entered a period of change. His work evolves towards a more abstract approach. He begins his Série noire which he exhibits at the Déclinaisons gallery in Rouen. "It is a grey that has the appearance of black"
It is a grey that has the appearance of black
« Denis Godefroy's black canvases, this photographic paper glued and then covered by the material, are devoid of the nameable figures of reality. All that remains of the classical idea is the frame. The sensation of inhabiting an enigmatic space. »
