The artist explores both the expressive and the stylising power of the line
The artist explores both the expressive and the stylising power of the line. Starting from a strict drawing of the line and an economical use of colour, she composes particular universes of forms with a compositorial, technological and narrative complexity of their own. The forceful layering of her work can partly be attributed to its serial procedure (Jam, 2005; Glu, 2007). The series functions as a system, as an organising unit. It provides the semantic structure and determines the elaboration of an image in a drawing, installation or animation and the possible correlation with other 'systems' such as music (Glu, 2007) or the spoken word (Cruise, 2002-03). In the present exhibition Catharina van Eetvelde sets out to analyse the structural system and the methodology of her own medium.
