When:: Tue 15 November 2011 - Sun 11 December 2011
Where:: The American Library in Paris - Paris
Category:: Art on View

Description

city-space-theatre_4 The work of Claire Laporte manifests her fascination with the perpetual transformation and juxtaposition of urban space. Her brush converts the city into a theatre, supporting her quest to capture beauty in daily life and to create a poetic vision of these urban spaces.

city-space-theatre_3 Laporte works from her sketches and photos of each space. Several months pass between the first rapid sketch and the finished work; this pause allows her to infuse her personal interpretation of city-space-theatre into the scene depicted. In this exhibition discover paintings set in the 7ème arrondissement.
