Montréal-based artist Maude Corriveau explores the perceptual thresholds between floor and phantasm. Working in dry pastel drawing and oil portray, Corriveau transfigures disposable and artificial supplies with specific consideration paid to the impact of sunshine on matter. Her new exhibition, “Between the Folds”, performs with the recurring motif of the curtain. Traditionally related to concealment and phantasm, the curtain seems right here much less as a logo and extra of an optical and phenomenological system.
“The work emerge by means of an iterative dialogue between bodily staging, pictures, generative AI, and oil portray. It’s exactly inside this house—between folds of various image-making methods—that portray acts as a website of translation, slowing the rate of artificial photos and reworking their luminous surfaces into tactile presence by means of successive layers of oil and uncovered linen. As an alternative of confirming the authority of pictures or synthetic intelligence, portray delays the interval earlier than certainty arrives. It constructs the situations underneath which photos emerge and rework—permitting notion itself to stay fluid and unresolved.”
“Between the Folds” is on show at Plato gallery September 3 – October 3.
