Artist Statement for Christine Maudy
|
|
|
Christine Maudy left Paris for the Sunshine Coast, Queensland in 1995.
A self -taught artist, Christine was always into art, from fashion design to public relations for other artists.
"I received my best guidance by meeting creators, visiting exhibitions and museums and travelling. I always knew that one day I would dedicate myself to my passion.”
For the last 20 years she has been travelling extensively to Africa, Asia and Europe.
Christine is committed to abstraction. Marc Rothko, Willem De Kooning and Paul Klee ‘s work had a strong impact on her artistic education.
“Colours have the power to induce emotions and feelings. They are not only about physiological perception but also about history and culture. The lastings memories of a journey in a country wether they are cultural or visual will always translate in colours for me.”
A truly contemporary artist Christine explores the major cultural, political and ecological issues and believes that is the artist’s duty to contribute in raising awareness.
“I don’t try to depict reality but rather to show feelings and emotions through visual associations”.
Images originate in fragments of personal and cultural history, in responses to travel, recollection of journeys. Traces of places once visited, of colours seen evolve as a diary of history, time and places.
Trained as a private pilot, she has developed a sky vision that is reflected in her interpretation of landscape.(see Aqua Profunda)
She loves experimenting, always looking for new techniques and new ideas. In her studio surrounded by nature she works almost every day.
Fluent in Italian and English as well as French Christine is a true citizen of the world.
Christine is exhibiting regularly in in Australia, Spain and Hong Kong and wishes to expand her exposure to other countries.
“I need the stimulation of producing a coherent exhibition focussed on a subject or a reflexion; you can go deeper in your research and your introspection and then you have the pleasure of seeing it coming alive in front of your public.”
