Lydiane Lutz

Floating

Solo Show

Inspiring – that’s the most fitting way to describe Lydiane Lutz’s work. The artist employs a interplay of impasto and translucent color fields. The image motifs oscillate between impressionistically depicted, figurative elements and expressive abstraction. A powerful energy emanates from the rich, vibrant color palette.

Lydiane Lutz’s approach to painting is elemental. The joy of color is evident in her brushstrokes. Stylistically, the artist treads in the footsteps of great colorists like John Singer Sargent, Claude Monet, and Berthe Morisot. In their partially abstract sketchiness, her works evoke Monet’s late water lily paintings. The often French titles of her pieces pay homage to the artist’s French roots. The play with different textures – sometimes translucent, sometimes impasto – creates contrasting surfaces that unfold a sensual impact. Blank spaces and open areas stimulate the imagination. In this way, atmospheric pictorial spaces are created that invite one to fully engage with and immerse oneself in the painting.

A recurring motif is water, an element that encapsulates contradictions: softness and hardness, lightness and density, intimacy and grandeur. Depictions of floating bodies in the water convey weightlessness and a sense of being carried. The figures invite viewers to empathize and identify with them. Lydiane Lutz’s painting could be described as a kind of romantic expressionism, as it revolves around the expression of intense emotional sensations.

The bubbling floods of color evoke memories of swimming in open waters: cold and warm currents, the ambivalence between feelings of joy and awe of the unknown depths and the power of the element. Lydiane Lutz’s painting opens up spaces of yearning that convey freedom and playful lightness. In this way, she succeeds in evoking complex experiences and creating allegories for life.
