Nicole Etienne "A Moveable Feast"
Sloan Fine Art
This event has ended.
“In his memoir, Ernest Hemingway considers 'A Moveable Feast' to be the memory of a splendid place, one that lives on with the traveler, long after the experience is over and for the rest of his or her life. In these mixed media works on canvas, I conjure memories, recreating the experience of “A Moveable Feast” decades, even centuries, later. The process begins with photographing magnificent antique rooms and historic museums, delicious settings that are ripe with history and alive with splendor. I strive to connect with the essence and importance of what once transpired there and then manipulate the images to support the mystery and mood of these perceived experiences. Finally, I layer on my impressions, incorporating living organisms and fetishized objects, rendered with traditional techniques in oil and varnish, until each reconstruction is complete. Through this process I resurrect the dreams, emotions and ghosts of past happenings by sharing their stories with those who were unable to experience them first hand.” - Nicole Etienne
