New Viewings #39 is proud to present Swiss artist VALÉRIE FAVRE. For the New Viewings project, the exhibition space becomes the stage on which the artist acts as a theatrical goddess figure, looking out into the darkened gallery space. In the "Balls and Tunnels" painting series, an abstract work is created every year – a procedure that Favre intends to continue until the end of her life. Year after year, new pictures emerge form out of the artist´s paint and studio grime-filled bathtub. She places the big banging formation of the universe in contrast to the mythology of painterly creation: Without any use pf perspective, but with countless partial focal points, a randomly gathered pictural cosmology with extravagant vastness is formed from out of nothing other than a few colours and an old rag that has been duked, drowned, wrung, sullied and maltreated in a number of other ways. The stormy pandemonium of colours, their distances and proximities, becomes a metaphorical testimony, an image for each lived year. \ VALÉRIE FAVRE Balls and Tunnels (2021) Acrylic and ink on cotton 180 x 140 cm (Sold) Valérie Favre, *1959 in Evilard, Switzerland, she lives and works in Berlin Discover more available work of this show on newviewings.de or on bthumm.de \\\ #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #conceptart #acrylicpainting #painting #abstractart #artshow #artcollector #galleryart #artonline #valeriefavre #newviewings #curator
