Metalocus discovers French artist Claire Trotignon, whose landscapes inevitably get our attention. Among her influences we find names as diverse as Rem Koolhaas, John Keats or Tim Ingold, and other artists who also work with the perception of space as Michael Heizer and Sol LeWitt, although she admitted that it is very difficult to summarize her influecias as they come from anywhere and anytime.
At an interview for Vulture Magazine, the artist said this about her work:
There is a major part of experimentations linked to the idea of space, including drawings. It refers mainly to constructed spaces where line is very present. We often pass from plan to volume through the idea of full by empty. I use many small fragments of antique prints I cut with scalpel, recomposed and associated them with drawing, it can stay as it is or be screen and printed to be cut out and rebuilt again. Whether installation or paper I built equilibrium spaces in a back and forth past future.
