Default French abstract lithograph

Hi everybody,
I’m new here.
One year ago I bought this abstract lithograph in Paris.
Its size is appr. 50 to 65 cm.
I cannot decipher the signature. Can anyone help me?
Thanks for your reply.
Luca

Closest I can get to the words in the signature(?) is possibly Louviere Lange. Louviere is the name of a town in Belgium, so perhaps there's a connection there.

This work is curiously signed in the hungarian habit with the family name first by the french artist Serge Saunière born 1947, said as one of the living masters of black and white. Maybe from the serial name "la rivière" (The river).
Look at the last one on this page :
http://www.pousse-caillou.com/editions5.htm#
I can't find a signature online to compare, so if you are doubtful, you can try this adress given on a site as the artist one :
s.sauniere@numericable.com
or ask using the Contact area of the pousse caillou site.

I'm sure saintmarc is correct, but those sure didn't look like S's to me.
