Colette
Metaphysical Portrait from series: Artists and the Silver Screen

About the Item

"Colette is a gauze-draped pillar of the New York art world, a maker of installations, a painter and a performance artist.” - Anthony Hayden-Guest for The Art Newspaper Undercurrent Projects (formerly Peanut Underground) is excited to announce our premier exhibition, an installation of new works by the artist Colette. Beginning her career as a painter, Colette is internationally acclaimed for her pioneering work in street art, performance art, tableaux vivants and the constructed photograph, which brought her avant-garde work to the public eye in the 1970s and was influential to generations of artists to follow. Often addressing issues of gender roles, her contributions have been recycled in pop culture; yet, she continues to reinvent herself. Colette’s work has been exhibited in MoMA, Whitney, the Guggenheim, New Museum, MoMA PS1, Palais de Tokyo, MoCA, Houston Museum of Contemporary Art, Musée d’Art Moderne Montreal, the Ludwig Museum (Cologne), and others. Colette has long been recognized for creating, adopting and fully inhabiting various personas, with her current “muse” being Lumière.

  • Thirst- woman with the straw in wine-colored, brown and beige
    By Igor Fomin
    Located in Fort Lee, NJ
    The hero at this painting is a human. His eyes are a lenses that artist using. At all time they are together, a man and a woman. Duality of differences, two views, different accents, but in one wholeness. Fomin is a fairy-tale artist, a romance teller, who is choosing never ending life stories for a viewer. He is telling these stories with realistic language of the artist, citing the language of Bruegel sentimental sincerity of Chagall, but also a precise coloristic scheme, that was a signature of French Art in the second half of XX century. The fantastic World of the artist is perfectly detailed that makes it truthful. This artistic language principle defined the style of the artist long before he entered the Art World market. His love for Italian Renaissance was born in Minsk during his study years. Art, Music and Architecture made Igor Fomin...
