Marie Cloquet. Around Obstacles

Ory Dessau • Boek • hardback

• Samenvatting
  “The more I reflect on her work, the more it appears to me as
  a peculiar form of Land Art”, is how arthistorian Ory Dessau
  describes the art practice of Marie Cloquet. The artist put
  together an extensive archive of photographs and uses it time
  and again to create her monumental landscapes on canvas.
  She considers the images, both digital and analog, as sketches
  and sees similarities between her process and that of classical
  painters. Close to the way in which, for example, the Flemish
  masters arranged the sketches they made on site, once back in
  their studios, into new, realistic looking compositions, Cloquet
  cuts up and mixes her images into independent entities that
  remain only loosely connected with the real world. After
  manipulating the photos in the darkroom, she prints them on
  drawing paper, tears them up and reconstructs them collagewise, using watercolor paint. The rugged, anonymous worlds
  that emerge, play with scale, size and perspectives and simultaneously appeal, as places of devastation, to our collective
  memory. Marie Cloquet says, that at his core, her work is about
  collateral damage. If initially her pictures, mainly because of
  the analog production method, remained confined to the black
  and white spectrum, the artist has recently begun to gradually
  introduce color in her work. Subtle, pale and sketchy, so that
  the works tend towards the realm of the suggestive. It is an
  attempt to place a gentle veil over dramatic footage, to cover
  confrontational facts on the current state of the world and the
  human condition with a layer of beauty
