Pierrette Bloch Exhibition
Haim Chanin Fine Arts
This event has ended.
Haim Chanin Fine Arts presents an exhibition of works by seminal French artist Pierrette Bloch. The exhibition will feature works from the past 40 years including 4 horsehair sculptures, 15 paper lines, 18 works on paper alongside 4 of her most recent work on isorel.
Bloch’s distinctive and consistent oeuvre is radically abstract and almost devoid of color since the beginning. Bloch’s work is characterized by the use of poor materials—paper, ink, horsehair, isorel—, a very limited number of motifs—the dot, the curl or loop, the line—and an obsessive and repetitive practice revolving around the notions of time, space and light.
Her minimalist approach allows Bloch to free herself from the form and to embark on an “adventure”, to experience the unexpected in each instant: the surprises, the accidents, the variations; the smallest changes of ink density, the weakness of the hand; the startling reaction of the paper or the hair; the light and the shadows. The cadence and the rhythm created by those lines of dots, touches or marks, curls, knots or lines, take the viewer into a fascinating meditation about time.
