... with Clédia Fourniau

In this episode of WAS MIT KUNST, Johann König speaks with the
painter Clédia Fourniau, whose exhibition MASHENUP opens at KÖNIG
SEOUL on 26 OCTOBER 2024. Clédia Fourniau’s paintings are created
using acrylic paint, mica, and resin on primed canvas or textile
that forms a mirror-glossy surface producing an introspective
dialogue between the reflected image and reality. The act of
painting is fundamentally dependent on material and process. Rooted
in a practice of body in action that is built up in her studio in
an extended and unpredictable temporality. She works on the serial
and gestural dimension of abstract painting by questioning
representation, and the conditions of creation, perception, and
reception of a double image. Her approach roams between a formal,
controlled, and accidental practice. In the podcast, Clédia talks
about her practice, her exhibition at KÖNIG GALERIE, and where she
gets her self-confidence as an artist from. This episode is a
re-air from a previously recorded podcast with Clédia Fourniau.
