Nature Morte N.M.1

About Nature Morte N.M.1

This modern minimalist wall sculpture is handmade in ceramic by Marie-Ève Fréchette. The three carefully curated objects—a rock-like form and two narrow pipes are handmade from porcelain and rendered in a bright, contemporary colour palette of lime green and yellow. The Quebec artist’s esoteric sculptures often feature bold, clean lines and fresh colours. This composition is an imaginative interpretation of a still life. One in a series.

“Nature Morte ….is a still life which also echoes our Anthropocene era and which questions our relationship to the object and our impact as humans on our natural environment.” Marie-Ève Fréchette

Marie-Ève Fréchette acquired both a Bachelor of Arts and a master’s degree in visual arts at Laval University in Quebec. She studied ceramics in College and has another degree in Pharmacy. Before becoming a full-time artist she worked as a pharmacist for ten years. Her work is found in public collections in Canada and France.
