Visiting Lecturer: Claude Temin-Vergez
Date: 13 October 2010
Time: 14.00
Venue: Ruskin 211
Claude Temin-Vergez is a French artist based in London and currently a lecturer in painting at Camberwell College of Art and Design. Claude has exhibited widely, including Transpallete and Le Box galleries, Bourges, France: Ecole des Beaux Arts de Valence, France.; Madison, London and The Expanded Painting Show, touring show, curated by Paco Barragan & Nina Arias, Boston USA. Her work explores an approach to form that is both excessive and generative.
Reminiscent of ornament or freely biomorphic structures, Barry Schwabsky (author of Vitamin P, Phaidon Press) has written of her work: "There is undoubtedly something seductive about these formless forms that remind us so strongly of things that we find decorative and beautiful but they harbour a subliminal sense of threat as well, because there is something inherently unnatural underlying their hallucination of naturalness. You want to keep your eye on them, at once for delight and from mistrust, until you finally can't tell the two feelings apart."
