Durst Gallery

For Elisabeth Stenne's first monographic exhibition in 4 years, Galerie Durst is showcasing a brand new body of work by the artist, featuring some twenty works. The exhibition, entitled "Vibrations", is devoted to Elisabeth Stenne's latest creations, created especially for this event. Her works oscillate between abstraction and subtle figuration. Light and color are always the common thread running through her pictorial research.

Elisabeth Stenne is a versatile artist. From a classical training, where she first painted figurative works, notably in acrylic or oil pastel, she emancipated herself to move towards an abstract style and the mastery of oil painting. A master technician, the artist's work is characterized by a bold use of color, in deep, vivid or pastel hues. From fiery reds to pure whites, these colors express distant memories or current emotions, like a mood or a vibration.

Elisabeth Stenne refuses to intellectualize her art. For her, painting is a medium of freedom in which she wanders according to her desires and sensibilities. She invites us to travel and immerse ourselves in her work, to let our emotions flow. This is why she has never wanted to choose between figurative and abstract painting. She lets herself be guided by the moment, in one direction or another. It's up to the viewer to interpret what they see.
