CAMILA OLIVEIRA FAIRCLOUGH / MICK PETER / CHARLIE MALGAT

Camila Oliveira Fairclough works as a painter. Her paintings "are made up of various elements borrowed from everyday life: concrete things, abstract things, sounds suggested or transformed into images and the reappropriation of images. And yet Camila's paintings are not meant to be read or deciphered in order to be understood, and in this they undoubtedly fall into the realm of poetry. The artist lives and paints in Paris. Her work is inspired by the images she encounters in the city and in her everyday life. Here she presents a series of nine canvases made from paper patterns representing drawings (bouquets of flowers, mermaids or simple geometric shapes) to be reproduced life-size, hence the eponymous title of the exhibition. Combining different techniques and collages on the canvas, the work navigates between abstraction and poetry!
