To paint the sky. The shades of blue, white, grey and red come togheter into a homogeneous set. The immaterial extends over Dorothée Louise Recker’s canvas. The center of her subject? Light, colors and memories. The many layers of paint spread with a brush merge into subtle gradations of color, often solar, celestial. The details disappear under her gesture trying to capture the essential, to translate her emotions in front of nature and the compositions that the sky offers her.
Dorothée Louise Recker’ childhood spent by the Mediterranean Sea forged her vision of the world, sensitive to the colorful variations of the landscapes that surround her. The work of color joint the one of the material. The Sand evokes the inspiration from the Côte d’Azur and the seaside. The artist reflects her research into the materiality of color.
