Exhibition - Oblique Escapes - Irma Kalt
-
exhibition
In her practice, Irma Kalt (Strasbourg, 1987) never stops anchoring her forms, as if to better
to appropriate them: if her first movement is through drawing, she then borrows from
many ways (printing on paper or fabric, photography, vectorization and then
new drawing or painting or printing). Through this complex moulting process, it decants
its motive, and further identifies the point of view or focal point that suits it: how do we look
and how far away? Are we very far away or are we inside? Between ancient know-how
and contemporary technology, his works all bear witness to phantom presences, data
graphics or pictorials that were there, that have become essentialized or have disappeared, but that continue
underground to express oneself. For the artist, the fragile beauty of forms is only obtained at the cost of
this slow process, during which the motif is weighed down by all these layers of memory.
His work is already present in numerous public collections: Frac des Pays de la Loire, Frac
Lorraine, art libraries of Strasbourg, Nantes and Angers and in numerous private collections.
