Malfreyt Corinne | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Everything in Corinne Malfreyt-Gatel’s practice is a story of energy and symbiosis. Her oil painting is composed of and marries the elements in a continually circular movement of the material, symbolic for the artist of time and the life cycle. The series of paintings “Le Sacre après Pina”, a homage to dance and the famous German choreographer Pina Bausch, evokes the eternal return of things, disappearance to rebirth, completion to beginning again, through the movement of bodies. Fascinated by the theatrical and performing nature of artistic creation, Corinne Malfreyt-Gatel produces alongside her pictorial production, public acts, poem readings to music or “live” paintings, precious moments during which the notion of exchange, emotions lived together and shared crystallise.
