Detailed description

Picture "Centaurea" (2022)

The 'blue flower' is considered a central motif of German Romanticism: the search for this magical flower is a cipher interpreted as a longing for love and infinity - a longing that remains unfulfilled, at least for the German literati. This flower still life is not a snapshot, but a temporally condensed and spatially removed motif that understands flowers in their ambivalence: their blooming and wilting, their strength and their fragility. The two cornflowers are in an elegant overlay vase that quotes French Art Nouveau. Collaged elements are incorporated into the picture's background, creating a lively texture in the staging, which is reduced to a few pictorial elements.

About Mo Fontaine

Mo Fontaine's work is all about color and its manifold expressions: from subtle to expressive.
In her still lifes, portraits and collages, she combines elements from different cultures and times, because she loves the European art of the old masters as much as the Japanese art of the 17th century. In this way, 'decelerated', magical-sensual images are created, which also transport the discredited concept of beauty. Seen in this light, some of the paintings seem to have 'fallen out of time' - not least because the paintings quite consciously refuse a fundamental category of the avant-gardes: the 'art of artlessness'. The aim is a timeless art that will certainly still function in two or three hundred years. She completed her artistic training at the Folkwang-Hochschule in Essen.
