Art Bärtschi & Cie, Geneva is exhibiting Charlotte Herzig’s “Hits and Misses”. For Charlotte Herzig painting seems to be abundance without limits, an immensity to clear up another dream. The framework of most of her works opens with a fantastic density in which the she organically mix volumes, curves and cuts. The colored overlaps sometimes invade exhibition spaces in large wall compositions, making us to explore the frames of these windows which the great canvases and the drawings pose in front of us. The tones used are fluid. The artist seems to work in regular and patient passages. Images appear attenuated, slightly cooled. They are often frozen under a bluish grid. Tones appear to come from behind the canvas, as if it had been painted from behind. Thus, the paintings of Charlotte Herzig seem to have the texture of our memories and our dreams. They offer, if it is still possible, a space behind the structured and logical one of our images daily. Charlotte Herzig, with a form of lightness and delicacy, reactivates in us the desire for a colored bursting, vegetable and playful which no structure could contain when attempting to recreate these gardens of modernity.Charlotte Herzig (1983) lives and works between Berlin and Switzerland. She holds a Masters in Fine Arts the San Francisco Art Institute. In 2016, she was the first recipient of the Nestlé Art Prize. This price was the occasion for one of her works to join the Nestlé collection and to rub shoulders with those Elsworth Kelly, Alighiero Boetti and Alexander Calder. The same year, she presented to the Swiss Art Awards a series of five new paintings for an exhibition entitled Rain Gum + Dancing in the Moonlight + Oo + Blue Bar = The feelings at work.The exhibition is on view through October 20, 2017 at Art Bärtschi & Cie, 43, route des Jeunes CH – 1227 Carouge, Switzerland.For details, visit: www.bartschi.ch Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the exhibition.
