Ferle

Ferle is a French artist living and working in Paris.

Ferle creates abstract compositions in extremely large formats. Her works, nearing abstract minimalism, are composed of colored geometric patterns. The artist treats the subject " repeating patterns in an irregular symmetry," with a "break" in the continuity.

There is a very physical side in the production of Ferle's paintings. The canvasses are laid out on the floor, where they become the target of the artist's energy at any given time. The epicenter of Ferle's production is without question the method she uses. The « all over » principle is perpetuated on all her canvasses.

The spirituality radiating from the work could seem in direct conflict with the violence of the method used in its production. However, the end result of this 'action painting' is very harmonious and almost induces the viewer to a meditative state.

Light and colour are central to her research and even become the focal point of her work. According to artist Zao Wou-Ki the chromatic quality of Ferle's works remind one of the walls being in the same tones as the Lascaux caves. As for the light, it is structured by the line or border, and invests the interior of the painting and gives it life.

Through her paintings, Ferle seems to open the viewer's eyes to a new dimension, reminiscent of a Rothko, giving each and everyone a chance to experience something. Thanks to her geometric compositions, art historian and exhibit commissioner Emmanuel Daydé, sees "doors opening to infinity, towards a kind of spirituality emanating from the body."
