Vicky Colombet

Haim Chanin Fine Arts, New York

Nothing to See From The Ground

Haim Chanin Fine Arts presents Nothing to See from the Ground, new paintings by French artist Vicky Colombet, on view from September 10 through October 23, 2004. The opening reception is on Tuesday, September 14, from 6 to 8 PM. The exhibition features large abstract oil, alkyd and wax canvases and a selection of smaller oil and pigment paintings on translucent mylar.

Colombet's work is both abstract and suggestive of landscapes. The critic Nena Tsouti-Schillinger compares Colombet to Agnes Martin and Brice Marden. She says, 'Colombet is an abstract painter who seems to imbue paint with emotional resonance; at the same time, the rigorous reductiveness and repetitive aspects of her imagery might well cause her to be labeled a Minimalist.' Mostly monochromatic, her subdued palette favors the blues, blacks, creams, and purples. The paintings of Colombet lend themselves to contemplation and reflection.

Born in France, Colombet has had numerous exhibitions in Europe and the United States. In 2001, she received a award from the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation. She currently lives and works in New York.

Haim Chanin Fine Arts is located at 210 Eleventh Avenue, 2nd floor, between 24th and 25th Streets. Dominique Haim Chanin, founder and director of Haim Chanin Fine Arts, introduces an ambitious international contemporary program to the New York art world by premiering established artists from Europe and Latin America in her gallery space. Following Vicky Colombet, Haim Chanin Fine Arts will present works by renowned Spanish philosopher and artist Evru (formerly known as Zush) from October 29 to December 18, 2004.
