any of the scenes of nature depicted in Marie-Suzanne Gay's paintings are removed from the frame by a space, a margin that transforms the representation of landscape into the representation of a surface to be painted.
A mountain hike. Contemplation, multiple points of view during a slow ascent.
Many of the scenes of nature depicted in Marie-Suzanne Gay's paintings are removed from the frame by a space, a margin that transforms the representation of landscape into the representation of a surface to be painted. Illusion of landscape. The painter's gesture. White masses streaked with black in the landscapes reveal the abstract nature of the paintings. A climb that leads into inverted landscapes, where points of view shift.
