Thought of you as I read about Alice Baber by Katy White. A shortened life muted by time but now celebrated by the Berry Campbell gallery. I hope to see it Wednesday when we head to the Whitney. Love these portraits. It reminds me how important portraiture still is.
Katy, firstly thank you. Secondly, these paintings, this painter, is a wonderfully evocative example of something I was thinking about only a few days ago. Despite all the 'new' types of art (which are great in their own way) there remains something completely captivating and immersive and powerful within a painting.
I've been thinking a lot about paintings that suggest nostalgia and yearning, as you express Nathanaëlle's paintings do. I feel like it's in the Zeitgeist when I walk from gallery to gallery in the Lower East Side: muted palette, dissolving image, usually painted loosely with a lot of solvent. They usually adhere to traditional genres of painting: still lifes, portraits, interiors, landscapes that feel kind of like a moody Vuillard (without the interesting paint-handling, in many cases). It's like Instagram filters meet 19th-century Paris. I wonder if anyone else has thoughts on this trend!
Wow I felt truly moved by Câlin. I've never before considered the mystery of someone's back in a painting and never getting to look into their face. I love painting with a type of embrace as well.
Such a great idea! Thank you for introducing me to Nathanaëlle Herbelin. This piece is as beautifully written as the art it contains. You have given me a lot of creative inspiration ;)
Thank you so much for this Katy! I'm with you. Whilst I write, I sometimes get tangled in the words. Art often 'art'-iculates LOL - my ideas in a more spacious way.
That back! Those arms! That table! I am engulfed, intrigued, questioning. I am involved. What a delight. 🙏

Thank you so much for sharing this very important work. She is totally herself, inspired by so many:Bonnard,Freud and Matisse to name a few.

Amazing work love the subtle overlay of imagery & portrayed human emotion.

Elena carrying her painting speaks to me. When I saw it I said ahhhhhh!
It makes me feel her hope and feelings of confidence. I quite love it.

So, so true! I love a trip to a museum. The art and also the experience of being there/the interactions always brings a wave of creativity!
