Artist about herself: In my works I move between various symbols. The language of geometry is close to me, I perceive it as metaphorical and open to space for interpretation at the level of intuition and feeling. On the other hand, I use archetypes from the world of nature: mountain, moon, horizon, water, road. I am inspired by modernism and constructivism. In these currents I find rhythms and phenomena that I also see in nature. I strive to combine these two realities. My work is often a dream of a great escape. Monika Stolarska...

ABSTRACT (Tree) is a new watercolor on Fabriano paper by Fleur Thesmar. The artwork measures 30x22", and is a striking composition in tones of gold, slate green, umber and tan. Note the strong sense of unfurling, of opening up the road and sky. And of course the tree that serves as invitation and destination all at once. From Fleur Thesmar – "Some geometric shapes and reflections seem to come alive, like the Sun in the sky, an open road, a huge tree from the ground up. It's like a game of mirrors, a vibration. This painting is made with hand-harvested pigments transformed in watercolor, in an effort to investigate the history and sustainability of my medium." Having moved her family from France to America, artist Fleur Thesmar closely observed the changes in her world – from the seemingly obvious such as surrounding landscapes, the light of day and weather, the flowers, trees and shorelines – to the smaller less obvious shifts, such as how one behaves in a new world, in a new home, how one cherishes certain belongings and certain memories. Her artistic practice is borne out of that close observation and shift in perspective, and has led to a number of successful gallery shows in the U.S. and internationally. Fleur Thesmar has shown at Beacon Gallery in Boston MA, 440 Gallery, Brooklyn NY, Old West Museum, Cheyenne WY, Belmont Art Gallery, Belmont MA, and Salon Ile-de-France 2020, Bourg-La-Reine, France. Her work is on permanent display at the Tower Hill Botanic...
