Domitille Cure, Provence
This collection is inspired by Provence in the southern area of France. More specifically, elements like the vegetation and colourful atmosphere of the countryside in the summer. The collection seeks to translate a feeling of Nostalgia linked to a time of recklessness. This is represented through a use of bold colours and naïve aesthetic. The research part looks at how a variety of artists have represented the Mediterranean atmosphere through different medias. In that way, the collection is split in three different categories. The first part looks at stripes; hand drawn coloured stripes with a vintage feel. The kind of stripes and colour combinations you would find on Brigitte Bardot, an interior or a beach umbrella in a 1960’s Godard movie like Pierrot le fou or Le Mépris. The second part looks at Mario Giacomelli 1930’s photographs of laboured fields in Italy. His photos are compositions of textures and graphic lines that have an etching quality. The prints associated with Giacomelli’s work are placement prints. The third aspect of this collection is inspired by Strange plants, a set of two books created by independent publisher Zioxla. The books are looking at strange plants from the views of different artists. The aesthetical focus is on plants that have unusual shapes, like certain cacti that grow in the mediterranean area.
