“Sensitive to meteorological variations, I pay particular attention to the way in which light can redraw a space, as details appear and disappear. Because of this inconstancy in the landscape, I'm interested in questions relating to its representation. I choose places at specific times during my explorations. I extract morphological, colourimetric and luminous data in the form of photographs, videos and drawings, feeding my pictorial practice, which I extend by working with textiles and metal. In weaving and welding, I find gestures of fusion, superimposition and fragmentation similar to geological methods, which I draw on to the point of creating a total absence of scale, verging on abstraction. By moving from materiality to transparency, I try to transpose the unstable nature of landscapes, from a single motif to a new spatiality.”
Artist graduated from Aix-en-Provence School of Art, Chloé Poey-Lafrance develops a pictorial practice, borrowing gestures from restoration-conservation, arts and crafts and construction techniques. Her work has been shown in a number of group exhibitions, notably at Mac Arteum in Châteauneuf-le-Rouge, the Vasarely Foundation in Aix-en-Provence, at Château de Servières and Jeanne Barret in Marseille.
