Caroline Herck

As such, “The Shape” is the characterization of a child's face. The child has an unpretentious way of dealing with daily aspects, a perceptive and cognitive freedom that is lost over time. Gaston Bachelard supports this way of seeing the child due to the concept of wonder that consciousness creates; to him, it is the conscience of the artist-poet itself. Caroline Herck creates and walks through endless expressive possibilities in her work. The construction of the figures that her painting represents allows us to walk through her extremely particular languages. In her mixed technique, Herck dialogues with line, texture and collage, while creating brushstrokes with oil paint composing an analogy. The tones and shades of red and pink are a strong feature on her oil paintings, along with the figure of the lobster which in this exhibition is included in counterpoint with an earphone, a scenario where a game of shapes, proportion and mirroring is observed.
