Nature in summer, an abstract composition made with lines and patterns ©️Dominique Lutringer

Nature in summer

Gesso, acrylic, natural pigment on panel
240x100cm

Painting #16122. An abstract composition made with layers of lines, patterns and colors, ©️Dominique Lutringer

​Painting #161221

​Natural pigment, acrylic,
modelling paste, panel
​130x97cm

Originally, an abstract landscape seen from a window through a Noren (woven bamboo blind). From this first stage, the succession of organic figures, grids and colors transforms the original landscape into a new work. The line is deliberately coarse, to leave a trace. The mark of a hand working spontaneously, without apparent effort. But everything must be perfectly balanced to achieve the desired result.

Surrounded by objects, shapes, and forms of all sizes, colors and textures.. I absorb them and transform them into something else by only seeing their intrinsic beauty. Even in the darkest of alleys, there is always a glimmer that remains. This glimmer is what interests me.

"The succession of multiple layers of paint gradually gives body to the texture and let us perceive the delicacy of the work."

Christian Boucharenc, Head of Design dpt. National University Singapore

The window as a source of inspiration 

The window is a rich subject in the history of art because it allows artists to question the visible. But also what it hides from the eyes of others. It allows a glimpse of a small part of the "landscape".

Hi, My name is Dominique.

 

I am a French visual artist living and working in Japan. Curious about various forms of expressions, my investigations in the subject cover several bodies of work that I endlessly explore through materials manipulations and more traditional media.

Art-making but also being involved in Inquiry-based active learnings. I believe that there is a deep correlation between art and education, and leveraging expertise in both can give the youth of today the tools they need to build a sustainable world tomorrow.
