Laurence Kimmel
Laurence Kimmel’s paintings express philosophical thoughts on the relation between reality and imaginary topological shapes. Our relation to the horizon, the earth and the sky is lost and found again in the perception of these pictures. Like the ‘flips’ between one state to another in our lives, in the Threshold Spaces between reality and imagination, these paintings display reflections, resonances and dissonances. A figure, whether abstract, human or non-human, channels the relations between interior and exterior, earth and sky.
Laurence Kimmel is an architect, author, curator and artist. She uses oil painting to express architectural visions of Threshold and liminal spaces. Her work on abstract landscapes, topologies and interconnections of spaces is enhanced by contrasted materialities, gradients and lines that are perceived as ‘cuts’ between spaces.
