Claire POYER
Claire Poyer practises analogue photography and, for several years now, has been pursuing a visual exploration fuelled by her reading and an experimental approach to calligraphy and installation art.
Her works, often minimalist in nature, play with words, lines or dots. Here, they take shape using Indian ink or coloured threads on unexpected surfaces: bamboo stalks, oyster bags…
Within the historic spaces of Trizay Abbey, she creates installations that engage in dialogue with the architecture. They resonate as a variation on the binary motif of fullness and emptiness, of Yin and Yang.
Her work draws inspiration from the Yi Jing, the ‘Book of Changes’, a major text in Chinese philosophy. Each subject of study is translated into an abstract work, characterised by restrained, serialised traces, where impermanence and transformation are made visible through repetition and contrast.
The body of work invites an attentive perception of rhythm, layers and the Yin/Yang dynamic: change at work
Sun CHA
It is through a gentle tension, a restrained intensity, that the work appears both serene and vibrant.
Each of CHA Sun’s canvases is an exploration of her inner world. It forges a connection, through that taut thread that is memory, between her homeland, her culture and the new ‘platforms’ where she seeks to settle.
CHA Sun’s painting is rooted in a direct relationship with reality. The gesture is the event: it becomes intention, an absolute presence. Each brushstroke inscribes, layer upon layer, the trace of a conscious and embodied presence.
One senses immanence: the force of that which reveals itself, here and now, without representation, without transcendence, in the pure vibration of matter.
Far from being at odds with immanence, CHA Sun’s painting simultaneously opens up to the depths of memory—the memory of forms.
