Maria Lalic
Geboren 1952 in Sheffield. Sie lebt und arbeitet in Bath, England.
In geradezu wissenschaftlicher Recherche erarbeitet sich die Künstlerin Werkzyklen über Jahre hinweg. So zeigte die Galerie in den vergangenen 15 Jahren Arbeiten aus dem Zyklus „Metals & Colours“ und „History Paintings“. Für die neue Werkreihe der „Landscape Paintings“ hinterfragte die Künstlerin den Namen einer Malfarbe oder eines Pigments wie z.B. „Paris Blue“ oder „English Green“ und ordnet dies einem berühmten Landschaftsbild der Epoche zu. An dessen Ursprung, wie hier Seurats "Brücke von Courbevoie", entnahm sie dann Erdkrumen, die im heimischen Atelier zu feinstem Pigmentstaub zerrieben und schlussendlich in den unteren Bildteil der neuen Arbeiten aufgetragen wurden.
Born 1952 in Sheffield. Lives and works in Bath, England.
Using a methodical, almost scientific approach the artist has worked for years on her cycles. Over the past 15 years the
Gallery has shown, for example, works from the cycles “Metals & Colours” and “History Paintings”. For her new series “Landscape Paintings” the artist has investigated the names of painting colours or pigments – for example, “Paris Blue“ or “English Green” – and referred to a famous landscape painting of the time (here Seurat's "Bridge of Courbevoie"). From these locations she removed bits of soil, which she ground in her studio to the finest pigment and then used it to paint the bottom part of her new paintings.
