Fauvist landscape painting, " And came the time of the fairies "

2023

About the Item

This series of paintings is inspired by the relationship between the artist and the forest of Fontainebleau. Every day, the artist goes there to make sketches, to walk, to dialogue with the forest. The initial sketches are made on the spot in different mediums (watercolor, pencil, gouache, ink, pastels). These are notes that will be used later to create from these traces and the memory of the moment lived with the place. The final painting is then done in the studio. The canvas is varnished and ready to hang. It is delivered with its certificate of authenticity signed by the artist. Review by Jordan Baker, artist and curator : In a series of fast mark-making, bordering on frenetic, Linda Clerget paints a scene in a forest, ”which for the artist is a world of its own where she communicates with trees and spirits,” says Clerget. Instead of giving us the illusion of a realistic forest, this painting seems to barely come together into a recognizable format. In fact, without the few definitive trees on the left, this would be an entirely abstract painting. So what does the artist want the viewer to see, if not the leaves and bushes and branches of the forest? Perhaps everything else: the sparkling feeling of communing with nature, the groundedness of disconnecting from technology, the heightened awareness that comes from being in a space where nothing is made to conform to our comfort. Clerget shares with us a sparkling vitality of nature which is one of her sources of inspiration.
