La Vidondée, Rue de la Vidondée 2, 1908 Riddes
Exhibition
This exhibition is an opportunity to present the three artists for the first time, highlighting their shared sensibilities and questioning. Each explores the world at different scales. Large and small formats: from the free range to poyas for Anne-Marie Matter; large landscapes and people: panoramas of the Valais and nudes for Claude Matter Galletti; vast expanses and the miniature: from the wide open spaces of the Alps to the ant on the Pont de Nant for Maud Galletti.
All three women share a particular way of looking at the landscape, a way of framing it, and a desire to express their emotions.
Anne Marie Matter is a weaver. She weaves the painted work of artists. Her art lies in transposing the work into a blend of colored wools.
She also creates her own compositions, at first abstract, then expressing the emotion of the colors and light of her garden, as in "Les azalées". She made numerous poyas, a Gruyère tradition, as well as miniatures. She developed what she called the free chain, enabling her to add movement to her works.
"Our civilization today is essentially subjugated to waves, true masters in all science, but what if we once considered them as a medium of delectation?"
Claude Matter Galletti is a painter. She wanders through landscapes in search of an emotion that she transmits in watercolor, always outdoors.
"An immersion in nature, emotion, meditation, letting the hand, the brush, the color or the pen go onto the paper. Lifting the gaze, putting down the observation that passes through the filter of emotion.
"Nothing but emotion, the inhabitation of the landscape, of the model. "
Maud is a photography student. Ever since she was a child, she's had a special way of looking at the world beneath her feet and the world around her. Amazed by the infinitely large and the infinitely small, everything is an exploration and a search for beauty.
"Did you see the little drops of frozen water, our shadows over there, how the sun plays with the leaves on the trees?
I love observing details, taking a slightly different look at everyday scenes. But there's nothing more beautiful than mountainous terrain, especially when the weather conditions aren't the most clement.
During the week, several events will punctuate the evenings.
Claude Matter Galletti will be present every day, while Maud Galletti will be on hand for the vernissage on Sunday.
