L'Officiel Galeries & Musées - Nora Djabbari
En 2020, le Musée Marmottan Monet invitait Vicky Colombet pour une discussion visuelle entre elle et Claude Monet intitulée “ Dialogues Inattendus – Peindre comme la Rivière”. Elle est de retour avec sa nouvelle exposition “Eau et lumière” à la Galerie Dutko. Ici, l’artiste explore notre perception visuelle de la nature et montre avec sa nouvelle série des visions qui continuent d’évoquer l’impressionnisme. Les éclats d’un étang, la matière cotonneuse des nuages en passant par les reflets miroitants du soleil sur l’océan ou des tranches de ciel qui se révèlent en montrant toute leur splendeur… Vicky Colombet nous invite dans sa poésie picturale pour contempler ses compositions complexes. Ici, grands formats et petits formats se côtoient et semblent surgir des profondeurs des mers ou des hauteurs des montagnes. La nature est inscrite jusque dans les pigments, qu’elle prépare, broie elle-même. — Nora Djabbari

"ANTARCTICA-SHANSHUI" at ICICLE in PARIS
Vicky Colombet “ANTARCTICA” #1356 detail - 2016 - Oil, pigments and alkyd on canvas - 198.1 x 198.1 cm
ICICLE Cultural Space, 35 avenue George V, 75008
March 15 – May 30, 2023
ICICLE’s Cultural Space, 35 avenue George V, Paris 75008, will welcome a spring season interweaving painting, music and literature, with the paintings of Vicky Colombet, the cello of Sonia Wieder-Atherton and the books of Chantal Thomas.
Conceived by Myriam Kryger, this series unfolds around Colombet’s “Antarctica-Shanshui” exhibition and the first iteration of a series of events entitled “Artistic Confidences”. Art historian Marianne Mathieu, and journalist Kathleen Evin, guide us on this journey through the arts, in the company of creator-explorers concerned with connecting continents and building bridges between shores.
“Artistic Confidences” events hosted by Kathleen Evin
With the visual artist Vicky Colombet, on Wednesday March 15, 6pm-7pm
With the cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton, on Tuesday April 4, 6:30-7:30 pm
With the writer Chantal Thomas, on Wednesday May 24, 6:30-7:30 pm
“In front of a canvas that hypnotizes us, listening to a musical phrase to which we abandon ourselves, closing a book that seemed to speak only to us, the mystery remains intact. The intimacy suddenly felt with the artist does not make the creative process any more intelligible. Where does this gesture, this note, this sentence that has reached our soul come from? From this necessarily awkward question that we ask ourselves, without daring to formulate it as it seems naive, what secret place can we try to graze by listening to them confide...? (Kathleen Evin)

Vicky Colombet, Li Qing, Ma Sibo and Ni Youyu at the West Bund Art and Design Fair in Shanghai from November 11 to 15, 2020 as part of the "First Day, Every Day" exhibition presented by the French Consulate General in Shanghai. In collaboration with Marianne Mathieu, art historian, scientific Director at the Marmottan Monet museum, and Zhu Zhu, curator and art critic, the “First Day, Every Day” exhibition initiates a dialogue between contemporary French and Chinese artists in order to celebrate the anniversary of the iconic painting of Impressionism "Impression, soleil levant" painted by Claude Monet, November 13, 1872. Currently presented for the first time in China as part of the exhibition "Impression, soleil levant: Monet, Colombet, Fromanger” at the Bund One Art Museum, this event intends to convey a simple and powerful message: Hope for renewal.

For the third in its series of Unexpected Dialogues, the Musée Marmottan-Monet is hosting the Franco-American abstract painter Vicky Colombet, holder of a Esther and Adolph Gottlieb and a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.

L'Ouvert/ The Opening / Vicky Colombet by Pierre Wat
Vicky Colombet did not wait to work at the Marmottan museum in order to save a place or, even better, a role for his work in her own. How not to engage with such a painter when the word “landscape” finds itself at the heart of one’s work? How, above all, when haunted, as she is, by this ongoing tragedy known as global warming, of which nature is both the target and the trace? How not to see in Claude Monet’s paintings the proof of a splendor that is now lost? It is not a question of imitating Monet. That would make no sense—neither pictorially, because this would be tantamount to being enslaved by a model, nor historically, because it would be like denying this loss before our eyes. It is a question of learning through Monet. To learn to paint not like him, not according to him, but rather with him, in order, in turn, to welcome, with the same openness, the world’s beauty, or what is left of it. Vicky Colombet’s Monet series, Water and Light and From the Floating World are manifestations of the quest for a common sensibility with this master of waterscapes[1]. Never, though, does she proceed by literally citing him, preferring to progress alongside the painter rather than to come to a standstill opposite him. Her most recent paintings, which give this relationship a new shape—less allusive than usual—allow us to understand what the Giverny painter’s art can bring her in terms of fecundity.
[1] The painter used the term paysages d’eau, or waterscapes, in the first exhibition of his water lilies at the gallery Durand-Ruel in 1900.

Vicky Colombet: Talk at the University of Washington, Seattle
Landscape: A Philosophy of Form
(School of Art Room 003)
With a career spanning over three decades, Vicky Colombet’s abstract paintings,
works on paper, prints, fine art photography, and architectural glass projects exist in
conversation with various art historical movements—from traditional Chinese Painting
to Abstract Expressionism. Raised in Paris, Colombet whose mother was of Filipino
descent spent her childhood traveling extensively with her parents across Southeast
Asia and India. Eastern thinking became an important part of Colombet’s perception
of the world.

Vicky Colombet: Paintings from 2007-2018 at The Elkon Gallery
The Elkon Gallery is pleased to present its first solo exhibition of paintings by artist Vicky Colombet.
“A strange weave of space and time: the unique appearance or semblance of distance, no
matter how close it may be. While at rest on a summer’s noon, to trace a range of mountain on
the horizon, or a branch that throws its shadows on the observer, until the moment or the hour
become part of their appearance- this is what it means to breathe the aura of those mountains,
that branch.”– Walter Benjamin
With a career spanning over three decades, Colombet’s abstract paintings, works on paper,
prints, fine art photography, and architectural glass projects exist in conversation with various
art historical movements—from traditional Chinese Painting to Abstract Expressionism. Eleven
paintings ranging in size between 18 x 24 and 72 x72 inches are presented in the gallery.
Colombet experiments with the weights of pigments, their type of granulation, chemical
response, their specific vibrations and steps for grinding. For Colombet, pigments are the
particles and forces in the universe, as she creates parallels of energy between the particles and
brush strokes and physical movement. The use of pure pigment also gives a unique vibration
and emotional resonance. “My paintings are non-objective,” Colombet says, “but they come
from a place where abstraction and nature meet. Not only inspired by nature, in the end result,
but also in every step of the process.”
In the Spring of 2020, “Vicky Colombet: In Dialogue with Claude Monet” will open at the Musée
Marmottan Monet in Paris. Conceived as an homage to Claude Monet, Colombet’s “Water and
Light” series evoke two of the great themes explored by the leading Impressionist.
Colombet was born in Paris, in 1953 and currently lives and works in New York. She has lived
and maintained studios in Paris, the South of France, Barcelona and the Cévennes. She has a
studio at the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts and a studio barn in the Hudson Valley, where
she works on larger scale paintings.
Colombet’s work is included in numerous public and private collections, including the Albright-
Knox Art Gallery, the Musee Marmottan Monet, the Museum of Fine Arts, St Petersburg. She is a
recipient of the Esther and Adolph Gottlieb Foundation Grant (2001) and the Pollock-Krasner
Foundation Grant (2014). A member of the Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts in Manhattan since
2004, she became an American citizen in 2013.

Amazing evening of performances at Olana State Historic Site last Friday to present the Shillim Foundation. The evening began with a walk through the forest listening to the western Ghat morning forest recordings by sound engineer Joel Gordon. Then we listened Erin Gee's incredible musical performance. Facing the Sunset and mountains, near Frederic Church's home and studio, Constantine Baecher and Traci Finch performed "Mountainscape" a choreography of Constantine Baecher inspired by my drawings "Brumes Series". While Elad Kabilio played Crumb's cello sonata brilliantly
