Detailed description

Picture "Passages Rouges" (2023)

This abstraction is defined by a field of tension: The square, into which the viewer can literally dive, provides balance and tranquility, while the color areas with their modulations and "passages" within the composition create a certain dynamism and liveliness. The color red is visually very present: it symbolically stands for power, love, passion and fire, but also for danger, rage, destruction and anger. By the way: In China, the color red has positive connotations. It is a guarantor of good luck in this culture.

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.
