    Peau de Paris | An In-Depth Look | Collection in Progress

    Quai des Grands Augustins

    Oil and Gold Leaf on Affiche

    120 cm x 185 cm (4 ft x 6 ft)

    Fondation Signature Institute de France 2023 Nominee

      Viewed through the prism of Freudian psychoanalysis and artistic expression, the initiative of the Peau de Paris is to visually expand upon the concept of “screen memories” emphasized in The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, synectically applied to the architectural environment of Paris, through the integration of recycling. Incorporating the claim that indifferent memories do not stand alone but hold a meaning that is preserved by the origins of an associative chain and an endpoint that is repressed until the replacement of those mental experiences in memory are reinstated later in life.  

        

      Tradition is manipulated through the merging of realms. The artist plays with the disclosure of Paris in totality by reinterpreting the laying and the living, the fixed architectural body of the city above ground in juxtaposition to the vitality of it’s subsurface. By dissecting what is given, her intention is to translate and transmit the energy that circulates throughout both planes through imagined associations between the surface and the subconscious resistance which allows the stimulus of the city to be viscerally absorbed and suppressed, prior to discard.


      The posture of the Haussmannian buildings are revisited and resuscitated in the modern day. Focusing on the mascarons -the sculptures that adorn the doors, walls, and artifacts of the city.

        

      In this series Keariene exploits formality of oil paint as a technique and instrument of measure, prescribing a graffiti-like quality to the paint itself. Using the affiches of the metro as the physical landscape of these works she abandons canvas. Through the metamorphosis of mass-produced images and messages she creates a time-lapsed skin of her life during residency at Centre International des Récollets. 


      Achieved with the aid of the RATP. The access granted by the transportation authorities of the Paris metro have made this collection characteristically distinct. The conventional canvased surface found in most paintings has been omitted entirely. Abandoning the constraints of cotton and linen fabric, she solely utilizes the large-scale affiches (advertisements) that adorn the organs of the underground. Localizing the context of memory by providing site-specific snapshots of Paris in real time through the conversion of temporal media into lasting works of art.


         "I've always viewed stone as abstract flesh and have never reduced sculpture solely to minerals."


      Special Thanks to Skip Arnold, Mme Dozias, Mme Smalto, Aloïce, RATP the RATP workers who update the advertisements & their affiliates.

      OBSERVATIONS: LE TROISIÈME EMPIRE

      This collection is the most ambitious creative attempt undertaken by the artist. The technique is a culmination of more than a decade worth of experimentation with oil painting, completed during her ongoing residency in Paris, France. 


      The first painting in this series was constructed over a eighteen month period.  The only revelation the artist is willing to disclose at this time is this project will be revealed in alignment with afro-surrealist expression, and is based upon interactions with local residents belonging to the African diaspora. 


      Keariene looks forward to providing a statement of theory and formally introducing components of this collection.
