Magnificent, high-contrast and richly coloured prints. One of 7 copies. - Published by Galerie Bugdahn und Kaimer, Düsseldorf. - Sensory intensity, transience and the sublime are categories that permeate Marie-Jo Lafontaine’s work and under whose premise she creates compositions that transcend the documentary. With conceptual precision, the artist has devoted herself to the plant world since the mid-1990s and, in this series too, transforms the floral subject into objects that appear almost representational, whose luminous, physical presence rhythmically shapes the surrounding space. 3 works.
