Nature Morte N.M.6

About Nature Morte N.M.6

This large modern ceramic wall sculpture is by Marie-Ève Fréchette. The Quebec sculptor is known for her bold choices of form and colour which are often inspired by both nature and her early career in science. Two pipe-like forms handmade from porcelain in sky blue and deep blue are mounted beside one another in this enigmatic composition. This is an imaginative interpretation of a still life. One in a series.

“Nature Morte ….is a still life which also echoes our Anthropocene era and which questions our relationship to the object and our impact as humans on our natural environment.” Marie-Ève Fréchette

Marie-Ève Fréchette acquired both a Bachelor of Arts and a master’s degree in visual arts at Laval University in Quebec. She studied ceramics in College and has another degree in Pharmacy. Before becoming a full-time artist she worked as a pharmacist for ten years. Her work is found in public collections in Canada and France. She has been an assistant sculptor to the renowned Quebec artist, Jean-Pierre Morin since 2013.
