Description
This minimalist artwork features a single red-tipped matchstick standing upright on a plain, off-white canvas. The composition is stark and simple, with the rectangular canvas providing a neutral backdrop that allows the solitary matchstick to take center stage. The technique employed is likely a form of assemblage or found object art, where everyday items are elevated to the status of fine art. The artist's intention may have been to explore themes of isolation, impermanence, or the power of small, overlooked elements to captivate the viewer's attention. ...
Clémentine Bruno (b. 1994, Paris) lives and works in London. She received her MFA in Painting at UCL Slade School of Fine Art, London in 2019 and BA in History of Art and Fine Art at Goldsmiths in 2017. Clémentine Bruno’s complex praxis can be condensed into a study of painting’s presets and indexicals, working through its genres and repetitions as a means of questioning the painter as singular genius. If we liken the writer to the painter, as Bruno posits in her work, words as much as images are infinitely interchangeable to produce different narratives and visual compositions. Her recent solo and dual exhibition includes: TOTAL, Paris Internationale (Paris, 2022). Recent group exhibitions include: PNI @ 10, Project Native Informant (London, 2023); One Kiss is All It Takes, Halle Nord (Geneva, 2023); The Sky Above the Roof, Tabula Rasa Gallery (Beijing, 2022); Not Before It Had Forgotten You, Fluxus Art Projects at Nicoletti (London, 2022). ...
