Next collection with Claire Moog: Between Sensitivity and Color

"The universe of Claire Moog is an ode to pure emotion. A recognized painter known for her vibrant and immersive compositions, she shapes a unique visual language, on the line between abstract and figurative."

 

For the next collection  ARTIST , the chosen work comes from his series of 90 paintings "Esthésie" and is titled "A Summer Under the Pines."

In preview and in the presence of Brigitte and François: at the pop-up shop in Lyon, 23-25 Port du Temple Street (2 ^and ), from Monday, February 17 at 4:00 PM until Saturday, February 22 at 7:00 PM.

Or available for pre-order online: from February 21 to 23.

 

The choice is not trivial: it perfectly embodies the fashion vision of Studio BF, an art in motion, imbued with the sensory exploration of the guest artist who first feels what she then paints.

Indeed, this collaboration between her art and the Art-à-Porter brand is part of a dynamic of transmission and reinterpretation in which she believes. ARTIST "dedicates here a fragment of her artistic talent and enlightens us on the relationship she has with the world."

Imagining women walking, dancing in outfits inviting to "A Summer Under the Pines" is a bit like restoring the undulations of her gestures, conversing with that essential flow in her work.

This dialogue between painting and textile proves that a garment is not just a simple functional object; it carries a story within it. 

Through an instinctive approach, her sensations come to life and take harmonious forms. From the depths of herself, she transcribes a feeling, a thrill. Between structure and freedom, what is hidden appears, as one digs to seek a truth.

Each piece becomes a sensitive territory to explore. This landscape that comes from within is being built before his eyes. This gaze, in itself, surprises him. palimpsest landscape that is taking shape, where she feels good, where she could live.

"His technical mastery of layering, material, and color, outlines and redefines with an ostentatiously graphic precision, so poetic."

"She lays her foundations with large layers of oil paint before working with a knife. This requires a long drying time but also gives a certain solidity to all these different layers."

"Step by step, the oil allows for a process similar to engraving: defining a strong, almost solid color that then reappears in the upper areas."

The visual artist works with a knife, a pure and hard masonry tool, and sculpts the material with energetic gestures. The flat areas and blurred textures bring relief and depth to his evolving pictorial constructions.

"Claire Moog lets herself be carried away by the expressiveness of colors. She loves their confrontation, the meeting of their tones, the culmination of their unexpected brilliance. The richness of her palette exhumes all the strength of the new shades created."

"Sculpted, polished, or untamed textures, with subtle plays of light and powerful contrasts, transparency interacts with opacity, fullness provokes emptiness, and thickness bows before finesse."

 

In this canvas, the fine and vertical lines, almost vaporous, evoke slender silhouettes, or suggest plant stems swayed by the wind. Room for the imagination.

'By the magic of colors, a vibrant green in the background, a symbol of life, anchored and connected to the earth. A milky white sky shares the airspace with perhaps a few grayish-blue clouds. Who knows?'

Claire Moog did not start painting; one could say she never stopped. As a child, she watched her grandfather in the workshop perched in the attic.

 "Forever imbued with the scents of turpentine and oil paint, she decided to follow her life path as an artist and has been painting regularly for almost 20 years."

She left the Paris region at that time where she practiced the beautiful profession of school teacher.

Total love at first sight and with family for an isolated hamlet of Teyssières in the Drôme (26), a little bit at the end of the world, in the Baronnies natural park.

Surrounded by nature, away from the hustle and bustle, this environment very conducive to all her explorations allows her to simultaneously develop an organic nursery of aromatic, medicinal plants and small fruits.

"A radical change, between almost exclusive painting and the horticultural sector, Claire Moog's fulfilling life seems to be in collusion with art and plants."
