HUANG Chia-Min (Née en 1969) Lot n° 38

HUANG Chia-Min (Born in 1969) Untitled, 2007 Ink on paper, 100X100 cm Huang Chia-Min is a Taiwanese artist who lives in France. Her work focuses a lot on the representation of memories, on memory and forgetting. She is interested in the present traces left by past events or elements. She uses rope that she dips in ink, applies or slides on paper. Soon the surface is covered with threads, brush, knots, holes. Planes are superimposed, creating depth, obscuring some areas, uncovering others. Perhaps it shows us, like the fishermen of her childhood who took up their nets again, that the almost swallowed up past reappears through the work given to memory by undoing knots and filling in holes.
