Frederique Domergue

Art Brokerage: Frederique Domergue French Artist: b. 1963. Frédérique Domergue is into metal. She investigates all this material's diversity to create a wide range of colors and textures. Her challenge is to alter its state: releasing the metal from the coldness and the brutality usually associated with it. Through polishing and oxidation, she gives it a warmth, softness and sensuality that makes you want to caress the radiant and silky oxidized surfaces of her paintings. As metallic sheen changes, her artworks are often continuously evolving, witness to time passing. In the manner, the artwork's oxidation transforms it bit by bit, as if alive. Frédérique Domergue gets her inspiration from nature and the seaside. Her paintings evoke landscapes, skies and seas that are sometimes calm and tranquil other times stormy, dark and ablaze. The horizontal line in many of her compositions is where land, sea and sky mix and mingle, the very place where the elements fuse. Listings wanted.
