Les lignes du bois guident le regard dans les oeuvres de Claudia Côté et nous prenons un instant pour y être absorbé. Revisiter la matière par de complexes assemblages et la mise en valeurs des couleurs naturelles du bois. Ses sculptures se veulent un hymne a la nature, a ses cycles, aux transformations, à l'altération et à la fragilité. Le travail à l'atelier se déploie organiquement, influencé par son territoire, son histoire, mais aussi grandement par l'attention aux choix de ses matériaux et de ses détails intrinsèques. Claudia Côté est inspiré entre autre par le photographe Karl Blossfeldt, fasciné par Andy Goldworthy's, Edward Burtynsky et plus près de nous par les oeuvres de l'artiste René Drouin et Guy Laramée.
Claudia is an artist living in Quebec city, Canada
She graduated from Laval University in Fine Arts in 2005. In fall 2013, she receive two majors grants. One provide by the city of Québec and the other by the Québec Arts council for artist-in-residence at the Banff Center. Claudia Côté works in the three dimensional as well as in bas-reliefs using plywood where sculpture, etching and pyrography are joined. Far from rooting itself in the past, the art of Côté presents current shapes where abstractions and the figurative meet and become intertwined to propose a reinterpretation of landscape and history. Her work is driven by memory, roots storytelling, geography and topography.
