À propos de l’exposition
Like the veins of trees and leaves, each of Zimbelmann’s works unfolds as a complex network of channels—an arborescence where personal memories, literary influences, and political discourse are interwoven.
Born in Kazakhstan in the 1980s, the artist translates a profound reflection on the passage of time and the evolution of identity into his work, all while playing with the boundaries between figuration and abstraction.
Zimbelmann’s art is characterized by an intellectual quest, where various layers of memory and meaning intermingle. Through his work, he brings forth figures and forms that oscillate between clarity and evanescence. His paintings, structured in multiple layers, result from a process of superimposing coats of paint, where each removal of color reveals a new dimension of the image— like a leaf whose veins slowly emerge beneath the surface.
NOTE
This technique borders on sculpture. Starting from drawing, Zimbelmann meticulously shapes his works, transforming painting into a three-dimensional space where each layer, each brushstroke, becomes a continuous search for meaning. His unique approach creates a visual language that is both sensual and dreamlike, where the painting comes to life and unfolds like a waking dream.
The artist invites us to look into the very heart of painting, to discover the layers that overlap and intertwine, while giving new substance to the material. At every stage of the process, forms and figures emerge—sometimes in almost invisible fluidity, other times as moving actors. The human figure blends into its background, fusing into a single image.
