CHARLOTTE HERZIG – IT HAS NO NAME, SO I STYLE IT “THE WAY”
2020-11-23The world appears to move in rhythm, says Charlotte Herzig. Through her painting practice, she has the power to transform this intuitive feeling into a gesture and freeze it. Forms, spaces, and lines merge into bright compositions. One’s gaze becomes curious and explores the various movements found in her work.
It has no name, so I style it “The Way” is Herzig’s first solo show in Basel. For this exhibition, the artist explored different techniques to create works in varying dimensions. As in several of her exhibitions, Charlotte Herzig does not hesitate to imagine murals as multilayered, colorful environments. More than the simple immersion of the visitor in her universe, this process allows Herzig to make evident the effects of repetition in her formal vocabulary. Indeed, one can divide Herzig’s works into motifs. In the style of musical improvisation, the sequences and modules she employs set a specific tone. The mural acts as an atmospheric backdrop to the show.
