Everyday objects and abstracted landscapes combine in Mouture by Parisian artist Hubert Mardi. Channeling the work of art greats such as Braque, Pollock and Malevich, Mardi focuses on painting techniques that utilize layers of acrylic paint and varnish to bring texture and depth into his compositions. Engraving provides a hint of realism within the work, revealing a jug and an elongated grass stem...
The work of Parisian artist Hubert Mardi is constructed in stages: first vigorous, random life drawing, to which he adds dreamlike "markers" borrowed from academic practices - nude, vase handling, hands and still life. Instilling personality into his creative process, his work channels his own experiences – learned, seen and lived, through the medium of paint and engraving. With a training in fine art, his work is inspired by the history of art, in particular the work of Braque and his use of “certainties” that allowed his practice to sit between abstraction and realism.
