Works by Emma Godebska
Emma Godebska is a French abstract artist living in Nimes, France.
Her use of natural pigments, reflective of nature itself, is in dialogue with diluted acrylic paint and performative expressions of unchoreographed, ritualistic movements. She describes her process as a visual Tai Chi in search of inner peace. Color-making is meditative and methodical. Spending hours mixing the proper colour corresponds to a feeling or emotion.
Godebska captures the essence of memories.
Her expressive marks have the emotional charge of a Mitchell, with the like-minded minimal energy of the contemporary artist, Yeo Shih Yun’s ink paintings.
