About the Item
Winter Light 12 (Abstract Painting)
Acrylic on Hahnemühle paper - Unframed
Emma Godebska is a French abstract artist living in Nimes, France.
Her use of natural pigments, reflective of nature itself, is in dialogue with diluted acrylic paint and performative expressions of unchoreographed, ritualistic movements. She describes her process as a visual Tai Chi in search of inner peace. Color-making is meditative and methodical. Spending hours mixing the proper colour corresponds to a feeling or emotion.
Godebska captures the essence of memories.
Her expressive marks have the emotional charge of a Mitchell, with the like-minded minimal energy of the contemporary artist, Yeo Shih Yun’s ink paintings.

EMMA GODEBSKA (b. 1976, France) I live and work in Nimes, south of France. Born in an artistic family, I studied Applied Arts in London, where I lived for many years. My training and my work experience in the Parisian luxury world of fashion led me to work on materials, textures and colours, and to build a reflection around time, body, and memory. The last few years, I have been exploring a path where the quest for the essence of painting passes through a purified gesture and a minimal pictorial language. There is a need to centre on the Here and Now, to capture a light, a feeling, a moment. I work on a white surface, usually leaving the background pure, happily playing with the interaction of its texture with the paint. Colour is created by mixing paints, pigments, inks, playing with the paint dilution, exploiting its transparency effects, or its pigment accumulations. I try to emphasize the fluidity of the material and look in the gesture for a balance between tension and slackening, concentration and spontaneity, in order to reach an equilibrium in the composition. The result is floating in a white space, like a calligraphic sign. The superimposition of it’s elements and the contrast between the density and the transparency give a sculptural dimension to the composition. In their formal simplicity, these art works are an invitation into a spiritual journey.

- Rebound, striking blue and gold geometric abstract painting on paper, unframedBy Kazaan ViveirosLocated in Dallas, TX"Rebound" is part of Kazaan Viveiros' series titled "Passages". A stunning and contemporary painting on paper, this is available unframed. We can have this piece framed for you at an extra cost. A Fellow at the Virginia Center for Creative Arts since 2015, Kazaan Viveiros earned a BA with distinction from the University of Virginia in Studio Art and Religious Studies, and an MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. With an interest in architecture, plus being a talented mathematician, it is no surprise that Kazaan Viveiros’ paintings are works of geometric perfection. Carefully considered shapes and colours dynamically draw your eye up and down diagonals before pausing or pivoting at junctions. In contrasting effect to these visuals, the subject matter that this work references is natural and fluid, such as water, handwriting, or nature itself. Viveiros' paintings have caught the attention of collectors far and wide. Five of her pieces are permanently installed in the U.S. Embassy in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia and have additionally been acquired by individuals such as Walmart's Rob Walton and novelist Danielle Steel.Category

- Daily Drawing Series - 40 Days, original drawings, large scale installationBy Francie HesterLocated in New York, NYThe discipline of creating a drawing each day is a process, like a written diary, to clear the mind, to declutter thoughts, and to observe patterns. It is a method that allows the mind a freedom to wander and drift. A visual journal becomes a safe space for personal reflection–a self-awareness fueled by the opportunity for contemplation and immersion. The painted surface for the drawings was created by dividing five large paintings into 40 separate pieces. I chose five paintings from my Perspective Series (1993-94), which relied on day-to-day imagery that narrated a story about shifting time and how time anchors our day. The brush strokes of Perspectives are fluid, with muted colors – moving from deep blacks to taupe whites. Dividing these pieces was a means for me to rethink ideas and recurring images in my older work. The very thin gold leaf applied to each piece has a wonderful amber tone. This gold leaf is from Myanmar, where it is used as decoration for Buddha or for the dome of a temple or monastery. In the drawings, the gold element relates to the sense of infinity – like the sky in an enclosed courtyard. An architectural element is a critical component in my studio work that I wanted to carry over into these pieces. I envisioned a courtyard–a safe space that opens up to the sky. Unfolding circles define the beginnings of an open interior space. The process felt open-ended. It was an opportunity to get lost in thought and to give me an opportunity to reflect, muse and declutter my thinking. Then repeat. 40 days...Category
