Statement
Michele Foyer's art merges collage, sculpture and painting. Her sculptural paintings engage the viewer with the interplay of individually painted monochromatic colors and hand-cut paper shapes which float on fluorescent hues reflected on the wall behind each work.

The sculptural paintings reveal dissonance with their sly aggregates of shifting color sensations, subtle crazy quilt of disparate shapes and methods of organization evocative of Rube Goldberg. Flaps and collaged patches both reveal and obscure hidden colors, encouraging multiple relations and diverse ways for the eye to traverse the work. Paradoxically, this immaterial light which fluctuates in different conditions, constitutes the true “ground” of the piece.

Gripped by the mystery of how people, things, and cities can exist in the constant flux of the world, she explores the sensations of color and shape as philosophical musings outside of linear language and Platonic form.

The sculptural paintings rejoice in a fluidity which allows the new to emerge.
