Description
Contemporary Art
Verdier, Fabienne
Celestino. 2024. Colour screen print in emerald, moss green, leaf green and light blue with an enamel-white overlay on vellum. Signed, dated and labelled. 34.4 x 25.3 cm (46 x 35.5 cm). A magnificent, velvety and atmospheric print with a wide margin.
One of 110 copies. Fabienne Verdier draws inspiration from the grand Tachist gesture, which she skilfully combines with powerful colour modulations. In her series ‘Le chant des étoiles’, created during the pandemic year of 2020, she draws a parallel between the death of stars and human mortality: She transforms the aura of light emanating from dying stars into an image of death that represents an energy transmitted to the living. Each motif, carefully selected by the artist, is given a celestial name drawn from various cultures and languages. In this way, the artist creates a cosmic portrait from the luminous aura that takes shape from the death of a star.
