colour galore
Presentation
Far from any representational or naturalistic ambition, Maibritt Ulvedal Bjelke’s most recent works take possession of the spectator similarly to certain natural phenomena. Oval, square, or even rectangular multi-coloured surfaces provoke a true perceptive experience, a sensation both physical and emotional.
They are collages made of a multitude of thin strips, cut in large papers run-through with paint drippings. These strips are then pasted on a canvas in order to reconstitute the drippings.
Depending on the shift made through the “reconstitution”, the pictorial surface is more or less vibrant, more or less vigorous. This shifting – an irregularity in relation to an initial “order” – creates an intense shimmer. The eye would like to retain, fixate, find rest, stop “the noise”, but the surface resists and triggers a relentless visual play. One is reminded of weaving techniques: the chintz, the jacquard and the Ikat ; of bustling pixels from a television that struggles to get reception…
colour galore – abundance of colours – is the title chosen by the artist for this anniversary exhibition.
