Exhibition Sandrine Mahéo – Galerie Gilla Lörcher

until 24.01. | #4498ARTatBerlin | Galerie Gilla Lörcher shows from Saturday, 30. November 2024 (Opening 29.11.) the exhibition Structures d’apparaître by the artist Sandrine Mahéo.

Discovering the work of French artist Sandrine Mahéo (born 1974) means “immersing oneself in a wealth of colors that constantly raises questions and subtly reveals the question of form in painting on several aesthetic levels (…) without necessarily questioning the canvas as such, without necessarily negating the gesture and without making it the be-all and end-all of painting.”

Looking for historical “resonances, the closest connection is to be seen in the American Color Field movement, whose spiritualist, contemplative and purely formalist inspiration reached its peak in the 1960s. (…)

And so Mahéo immerses us in large pieces detached from a fresco, as it were, here a fragment of Tiepolo’s sky, there a piece of gray wall, which on closer inspection turn out to be a network of micro-spots or finely speckled colors.” (Excerpt from a text by Jean-Francois Desserre)

Sandrine Mahéo holds a National Diploma of Fine Arts and a Higher Diploma for Artistic Expression from the College of Fine Arts, Montpellier, France. The artist lives and works in Berlin.

Opening: Friday, 29. November 2024, from 6 to 9 pm

Exhibition: Saturday, 30. November– Friday, 24. January 2024
