MEDITATION IN WATER

2023

Karine Lahannier invites us to discover a whole universe of colors that she has always been carrying with her. From learning calligraphy to the transposition of the art of line onto the canvas, the artist has acquired a culture of movement and a mastery of the fusion of nuances, which today allow her to combine shapes and colors that come to life in his canvases. She enjoys playing with their intensity and luminosity. Glass powder or sand, for texture, and pure pigments are harmoniously associated with strong colors, such as soothing blue, amber or energizing red. Depending on light variations, her compositions turn out to be different, making the invisible visible and then invisible the visible, leaving it to the viewer to staying there indefinitely. Perfumes both ephemeral and inexhaustible of her memories, promises of a coming paradise. Lose yourself in her universe, where spirit and nature are reconciled, the hidden and the revealed, the moving and the fixed. Who knows, maybe will you then become aware of being the beating heart of things.
