Evelyne Huet’s Solo Exhibition DEAR HUMANS
March 12-30, 2019
Evelyne Huet, Fly Me Away, 47 x 33 in.
DEAR HUMANS, a new solo exhibition by French artist Evelyne Huet will be on view at the Atlantic Gallery in New York from March 12-30, 2019. There will be an opening reception on March 14, 2019, 6-8pm.
The 21 digital paintings in DEAR HUMANS explore the complexity of human emotions, imagining both their genesis and their evolution. Painting on a screen using her fingertips, Huet simplifies the lines and shapes of bodies, often just the face, to the extreme, searching to discover feelings such as happiness, fear, and pain, as well as more universal expressions of religions, myths, and history. Through layers of color, she builds complex images that reflect the multitude of experiences which encompass the universal human condition.
Huet’s training as a mathematician informs her creative practice. “I chose to study this discipline for its infinitely dreamlike dimension,” she explains. Her expertise emerges in her study of the human form, which she reduces to its most basic elements. This is mirrored in the refined palette, which is simplified to minimal colors so as to allow her to focus on the expression of emotion.
Huet’s approach is similar to automatic drawing: her subjects seem to appear of their own accord. The figures that emerge are often those who are familiar in our collective history, such as the Holy Family, especially Mary and Jesus of Nazareth. The raw outlines of faces and figures are also reminiscent of primitive art, recalling Huet’s studies in the field of anthropology.
The digital images are printed in Brussels with a Diasec® finish, in limited editions of three, signed and numbered.
