Heidi BucherUntitled (Wasserzeichnung / Water drawing)1985
1985
About the Item
In her 1980s series of 'Wasserzeichnungen' (Water Drawings), Heidi Bucher used gestural marks in gouache on paper to create what can be described as "water still lifes." The modestly-scaled works in this series serve as Bucher’s investigation into a variety of blues that relate to the natural color and form of water.
For each work, Bucher would pull the brush in an arch or s-form over the paper in a single brush stroke, allowing the vibrant pigment and paper to sit in stark contrast, the pigment appearing as ripples on the page.
Water was significant to Bucher in that it holds transformative properties and can be a space of transformation and cleansing. Bucher had a lifelong fascination with water and the ocean; in addition to her 'Wasserzeichnungen', motifs of fish and shells also recurred in her work throughout her career.

- "MY OUT-OF-REACH GARDEN", abstract watercolor, memory, flowers, stars, textileBy Fleur ThesmarLocated in Toronto, OntarioMY OUT-OF-REACH GARDEN is a new watercolor on Fabriano paper by Fleur Thesmar. The artwork measures 22x30", and is a structured composition in tones of blue, violet, rose, gold and green. Bordering on abstraction and representation, there appear to be sheets of paper, a desk, and yet surrounded by flowers, patterns and textiles it becomes a larger scene, a collection of memories. From Fleur Thesmar – "When you cannot return to a place you love, your memory invents the place for you. Apparent forms are suddenly unrecognizable, a reconstructed memory of a far-away place. Wrapped in patterns, grids and cloth, lights and stars shine as if from a mirror. Throughout are organic, fantastic shapes of flowers." 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...Category

- "PLENTY", watercolor, abstract, ice cream, landscape, patterns, textiles, fruitBy Fleur ThesmarLocated in Toronto, OntarioPLENTY is a new watercolor on Fabriano paper by Fleur Thesmar. The artwork measures 22x30". Note the gentle complexity of the composition, the suggestion of dollops of ice cream and fruit, or piles of colorful clothes, or a fanciful landscape. The scale grows large and small, far away and right in your lap! From Fleur Thesmar – "My memory invents places and shapes, finding new games of mirrors thanks to mathematical models and theories. Shapes resembling bowls of fruit, balloons, landscapes and so on, actually fulfill a dream of mine to free the imagination and let the viewer invent as well." 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.
