Agnes Pezeu "Impressions"
gallery nine 5
This event has ended.
Based in Paris, Pezeu works in a similar manner to the action painters of the 1940s, tracing charcoal outlines of models enacting various scenes before drizzling paint over the canvas to further delineate the silhouettes. The fluidity and palpable lightness of Pezeu’s canvases convey a sense of intangibility, yet they give transient, fleeting moments of time permanence. The works exhibited in Impressions demonstrate Pezeu’s experimentation with a more vibrant tonal palette, and her increasingly diverse representation of the ephemeral. The show will be accompanied by a performance at gallery nine5. Allowing an audience to observe her creative process, Pezeu will read a fairytale then ask her model to choose a pose that reflects their interpretation of the story.
