Short Bio
Intertwining matter and light to reveal the sensory ephemera
Statement
Beyond the visible
Although she has been a musician since she was a child, Sabine Eichler was destined for the plastic arts. Between music and painting there is only one tone and the scales become colors, lights and nuances...
Her minimalist compositions, apparently so different, are all based on the search for the sensory ephemeral, inspired by the impressionist movement.
Reduced to the simple expression of an emotion, a flavor or an atmosphere, Sabine reveals her universe through spontaneous and precise brushstrokes, juxtaposed with flat brushstrokes of thick materials or blurred with her finger, helped by her color palette, which ranges from monochromatic shades to very vivid hues.
The forms take a secondary place to evolve towards an incipient abstraction leaving only a sensory impression.
From then on, the spectator embarked in an emotional experience, will let his imagination run free.
Biography
From music to light.
Born in Germany, lulled by music and the intertwined waves of the Baltic and North Seas, Sabine Eichler dreamed of being a violinist...
fate decided otherwise. After a Baccalaureate in Plastic Arts and Music she moved to Paris to study Graphic Arts.
While she marries the job of art director in communication, she devotes the time she has left to painting.
At the age of thirty-two, when she moved to the South-West of France, she enriched her portraits with blues and jazz in black and white and began to paint, in her colorful still lifes, flavors of fruits and vegetables from the garden.
Between 2005 and 2016, exhibitions followed one another in blues and jazz festivals in Cognac, Juan-les-Pin and at L'Oréal in Paris, as well as at the Musée de France Roger Rodière in Montreuil-sur-Mer and at the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire in Cognac. This last exhibition was accompanied by the book "20 ans Cognac Bluespassions", illustrated with his portraits.
With her still lifes and the accompanying book of gourmet recipes, she participated in the CookBook festival at the Centquatre in Paris, exhibited at the Rivaud gallery in Poitiers and at the FormArt in Glinde (Germany) and received an invitation to the Gastronomades in Angoulême.
After an involuntary but salutary break for her creativity, she embarks in 2020 on a new project of exploration of water, clouds, and the long repressed sea, and directs her production towards a conception of more free-form works.
