ART BOOK - CLAIRE PETIT - The Twin inside -
🇬🇧 I wanted to reunite my paintings together in a book for a long time. It was February 2020 and I was then thinking of a small book. But Covid arrived, and time stretched out... Immersing myself in my world of painting, I looked back on thirty years of work. A long process of selection then begins, until we slowly find a balance and start working on the right sequence of images. Distant series brought together here, girls, women, different ages and periods, living within each other, always against a backdrop of that vibrant red which reminds us that in all circumstances the heart pulsates. As the days went by, the little book became a 144-page retrospective. I wanted the cover to be white, as white as a canvas before the first touch of paint.
“The vibrant red colors of Claire Petit's backgrounds remind us that in all circumstances the heart pulsates. In her work, duality breathes deeply, and from one life to the next, powerful feminine energy dominates: moving, introspective, multiple, often wrapped in a gentle violence. Claire is a self-taught painter. Since 1989 she has been traveling and working between France and the United States. She had her first solo show in 1999 in New York City curated by Yossi Milo. In 2004 her work was represented by the Grant Gallery in Soho. In 2005 she left for Mexico, where she maintained a studio for three months in the city of Oaxaca. From 2005 to 2010, her work was represented by Eric Allouche at the Opera Gallery in New York City and Miami. During those years she regularly painted in New York.”

🇫🇷 J'avais depuis longtemps envie de réunir mes toiles dans un livre. On était alors au mois de février 2020 et je pensais à un petit livre. Puis le Covid débarque, le temps s'étire... En immersion, retour en arrière et mise au point sur trente années de peinture. Un long travail de sélection commence, jusqu'à doucement trouver un équilibre, puis le bon déroulement des images. Des séries éloignées ici réunies, des filles, des femmes, des âges et des périodes différentes, vivant les unes dans les autres, avec toujours en toile de fond cette couleur rouge qui rappelle qu'en toute circonstance le coeur pulse. Les jours ont défilé, le petit livre est devenu un livre de 144 pages, une rétrospective. J’ai voulu un livre à la couverture blanche, blanche comme une toile avant la première touche de peinture. Imprimé fin 2020 aux Editions Empreintes & Digitales, vous pouvez commander ce livre ici.
