Sometimes Making Something Leads to Nothing
Sometimes Making Something Leads to Nothing
Nathalie Du Pasquier constructed this book as she constructs her paintings:
on the pages, blocks of color come together, support each other, oppose each other and
form chromatic architectures that accompany an unprecedented series of
sketched drawings. They themselves, as if placed on a table or shelf, evoke
both everyday objects (vases, books, boxes) and urban landscapes.
Entirely designed by Du Pasquier, Sometimes Making Something Leads to Nothing
is part of a long evolution of his work which, from his beginnings within the
Memphis group to its most recent works, has slowly slipped its
practice from design to painting, from object to abstraction. Today, after
40 years of creation, she deliberately plays on all these registers to create a
language that belongs only to her.
