SUMMARY:Véronique Sapin | The Season of Symptons — Art & Wine | Newport
DESCRIPTION:This collection of five works from Véronique Sapin’s “Symptoms” series spotlights her adept use of ink. The peaceful movement in each piece is reminiscent of her skill as a performance dancer. \nThese works are on display during September at 5 Merton Road in Newport\, RI. \nRead the PR: \nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE \nFrench Artist Véronique Sapin Brings Contemporary Ink Works to Newport \nNEWPORT\, R.I. — Gallery Sitka South will present an exhibition of work by French visual artist Véronique Sapin from Sept. 6 through Oct. 2 at 5 Merton Road in Newport\, Rhode Island. The exhibition offers Newport visitors an opportunity to experience Sapin’s distinctive contemporary ink paintings\, rooted in movement\, balance\, chance and the expressive possibilities of ink. \nBorn in Rive-de-Gier\, France\, in 1960 and now based in Cugnaux\, France\, Sapin is an internationally exhibited visual artist whose multidisciplinary practice includes video\, photography\, installations\, artist books and ink painting. Since 1995\, her work has been presented in more than 240 events in 40 countries\, including galleries\, museums\, art centers\, biennials and festivals. \nAt the center of Sapin’s ink practice is the drop of ink. Working on raw canvas or paper\, she allows the liquid medium to generate lines\, tracks and forms while carefully influencing its movement. She describes the process as a balance between anticipating what the ink will do and responding when it takes an unexpected direction. The resulting works explore rhythm\, movement\, tension and the constantly shifting relationship between control and chance. \nSapin’s approach is informed in part by her background in dance\, which she practiced intensively for 15 years. Movement\, its traces and its memory have remained central questions throughout her artistic career. Her experience with video editing and digital manipulation has also influenced the way she approaches her ink paintings\, allowing her to consider the works as evolving compositions rather than fixed gestures. \nWhile living in Singapore\, Sapin studied ink painting with artist Lim Choon Jin\, developing the mastery of the medium that characterizes her current work. Her practice reflects a sustained fascination with what happens when an artist gives a material room to move while still maintaining an intentional relationship with the final composition. \nSapin is also the curator\, co-founder and coordinator of FemLink-Art\, an international women artists collective founded in 2005. The collective has included 143 artists from 63 countries and has developed partnerships with institutions including UNESCO. \nThe Newport exhibition continues Gallery Sitka’s commitment to bringing contemporary art and international artists to Rhode Island. Gallery Sitka’s Newport residency features monthly exhibitions at Newport Wine Cellar & Gourmet\, providing a rotating destination for art lovers\, collectors and visitors exploring Newport’s creative community. \nVisitors can view Sapin’s work at Gallery Sitka South\, 5 Merton Road\, Newport\, R.I.\, from Sept. 6 through Oct. 2. The Newport location is open daily from noon to 6 p.m. \nFor more information about Véronique Sapin and Gallery Sitka’s Newport exhibitions\, visit Gallery Sitka online. \nAbout Gallery Sitka \nGallery Sitka is a woman-owned and operated New England art gallery with locations in Shirley\, Massachusetts\, and Newport\, Rhode Island.
