WOOD AND IRON
Voir tout1981-1987
Paper is combined with iron and wood. Plaster sometimes reinforces the masses, which must nevertheless not prevent light from passing through and playing on the surfaces.
Drawings, mainly in pencil and ink.
REFLECTION & TRANSPARENCY
Research focuses on the unique inner light of each work, but also on the creation, through hollowing and plays of reflection, of light and its passages through more or less transparent materials.
ZINC
For this series, I mainly used pieces of zinc that were part of the "Ma River" installation, back in my studio.
These pieces, reworked sculpturally and/or pictorially and of different sizes, together form a kind of barricade.

From the flatness of the line or the curve launched without permission to repent, she manages with her collage of rice paper, bis on white, plated or crumpled, in dialogue with the strong or light, round or vertical writing, to reconnect with the third dimension that accompanied her beginnings as a sculptor.
Starting from discipline, from self-imposed constraint, Nadine Kohn-Fiszel's work calls for a seeing gaze, for a posture of receptive meditation.
The almost nothing fills the viewer's inner world and places them in the echo of a path initiated by the artist.
It opens the way from self to self, from self to other.
