Chung King Project, Los Angeles
Paradis Artificiels. In Sacriste's new landscape paintings, figures appear to have dissolved in the support, as if they were accidental productions of the medium; foregrounds and backgrounds move forward and recede depending on the position of the viewer and the light.
Chung King Project is pleased to host French painter Anne-Laure
Sacriste for her solo debut in the United States.
In Sacriste’s new landscape paintings, figures appear to have
dissolved in the support, as if they were accidental productions of
the medium; foregrounds and backgrounds move forward and recede
depending on the position of the viewer and the light. Her work owes
as much to the Romantic landscape painters as they do to cult film
directors such as Jim Jarmush (Deadman) and Antonioni (Blow-up).
The
paintings are composed as a movie director would think of framing his
shots keeping in mind an idea of movement, and off-screen
suggestions. This process results in mysterious paintings with
cinematographic qualities, which encourage the viewer to move around
the work in order to appreciate the multi-layered depth and subtlety
of these fantastical landscapes.
Anne-Laure Sacriste graduated from the Beaux Arts in Paris, where she
studied under Henry Cueco. She had a solo exhibition at Art-Concept,
Paris in 2006. She is currently part of a group exhibition at the
Musee d’Art Contemporain of Noisy-Le-Sec titled Night Visions.
