🩵关于艺术家
Claire Colette（b. 1980，法国汉斯）成长于美国加州，目前在洛杉矶生活和工作，是一位艺术家和诗人。
Colette 在许多新作中以网格为出发点，基于对现代主义抽象绘画、风景画，以及模拟、结构和重复等哲学理论的研究，她将画布视为一个边界清晰却又充满无尽可能的还原平面。
在这些作品里，你仿佛能触摸到“天空与大地”、“昼与夜”、“生与死”之间的微妙张力。淡蓝、洛杉矶黄昏粉的色调交织，浮起的造型泥给画面注入神秘地形感。它们像树根，也像路径，或是脐带，又似欲望的轨迹。
Shoot Forth Thunder references Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Part II, in which the speaker yearns for the power embedded in thunder to enact justice in earthly matters. Metaphorically and mythologically, thunder is the catalyst for transformation and the deliverer of karma from which a subject’s path is irrevocably altered.
Within each of Colette’s paintings a visual disruption to the soothing symmetry appears: flashes of earthy, opaque micaceous iron oxide hover above and below, at times in thin gashes, at others spilling out in overwhelming chasms. These visual and metaphorical thunderbolts dislodge the stable system of the painting, pushing the viewer to make a navigational and philosophical decision. At the precipice of these voids we can choose to proceed through passageways where we face unknown futures. Much like the journey of grief, these portals also remind us of the infinite potential in beginnings: for new systems, for justice, for utopia.
