The thin layer of Earth’s atmosphere and the impact of global warming on our forest.
The layers that separate Earth from outer space are comparable to a thin onion skin. Although Earth appears infinitely vast to us, the atmosphere surrounding it is delicate and fragile. Through our modern way of life, we humans are impacting the physical composition of the atmosphere, drastically altering the conditions for life on Earth.
The art of Leopoldine Chazeaud speaks to the ‘fragility of Earth’s atmosphere.’
In her exhibition From Earth to Sky, she presents the atmosphere from new perspectives. Her works illustrate the transformative processes in nature, revealing how nature displays its beauty, overwhelms us, and shows its vulnerability.
While oil paintings depict the atmosphere in varying scales and shades of blue, delicate pencil drawings portray the dying pines of the Lenneberg Forest. Leopoldine Chazeaud masterfully captures the haunting beauty inherent in this process of decay.
It’s not just a lamp, it’s not just a painting—it’s both in one!
My goal is to paint the lamps in a way that gives them a unique aura through the changing light conditions between day and night, highlighting their special character.
In daylight, the lamps take on a very three-dimensional quality, allowing the viewer to lose themselves in countless fine details. The lamp has an aesthetic, ornamental style.
At night, when the lamp is switched on, the darker colors come to the forefront: black, red, and pink emerge vividly, giving the lamp a deep and mysterious structure.
