Spring 2020, Vicky Colombet: In Dialogue with Claude Monet at the Musée Marmottan Monet

In March 2020, Musée Marmottan Monet will present a solo exhibition of Colombet in Dialogue with Claude Monet. For the exhibition she is creating a body of work about light and reflection. Conceived in homage to Claude Monet, this work by Vicky Colombet, Water and Light, evokes two of the great themes explored by the leading Impressionist. Here, description of the landscape disappears in favor of the flow of water and its highlights and reflections. Pure pigment is mixed with solvent and organically applied to the canvas. The effect is fractals and formations. The patterns that this creates echoes the vibrant forces of nature through the subtle handling of the colored surface. Although abstract, this work takes its inspiration from the spectacle of the world. Its pared-back, simple esthetic reflects an idea of the universe close to that of Eastern philosophy.
