In this new body of work, Colette Laliberté pursues her interest in pictorial illusion and the transformation of architectural experience. Abstracted shapes, inspired from telecommunication diagrams, cyberspace and architectural structures, painted in bright colours and chromatic greys, claim the painted surface. In the midst of these intricate conglomerates, forms that further play with the relationship of flat and illusory space protrude and/or recede. Referencing architecture, stage lighting or the glow of a television set, the vibrant greens and yellows that pierce the pictorial field explore the permutation and theatricality of colour. These combinations of visual syntax compressed in Laliberté’s small-scaled paintings defy engineering design rationale and toy with the perception of space as a fleeting moment.
