Vicky Colombet

Evo Gallery, Santa Fe

EVO Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Vicky Colombet: Vantage Points on February 16, 2008. The French-born, New York-based artist has explored the interaction of nature and abstraction for over two decades. Rather than reproducing landscape views, Colombet evokes the textures and processes of change: wind, snow and water carving out mountain crevasses over time. The underlying compositional grid, a frequent starting point in her paintings, seems to be obliterated by erosional forces. Colombet’s works are in dialogue with the minimal paintings of Agnes Martin and Brice Marden. Her more monochromatic pieces operate as pure abstractions, while others appear almost photographic recalling Richter’s intersection of painting and photography.

These complexities of surface, reference, and spatial illusion stem from the innovative painting process developed by Colombet. She employs a heat blending process combining oil, alkyd medium and wax which is poured and painted over creased and manipulated canvas.
