“Sweet Symphony”: Tufting exhibition by Claude Como
The exhibition "Sweet Symphony", presented by the artist Claude Como, is currently being held at the Palais de l'Europe in Menton until September 21, 2024.
Visual artist, Claude Como discovered tufting in 2019 on the internet. Since then, she has explored this technique by playing with textures and colors, which she frees from the frame, thus inviting the viewer to a tactile and sensory experience that awakens greater voluptuousness. The free and light forms of her works were not chosen at random. They allow the artist to assemble the elements with each other, to break the points of view, and to modify the perspectives and scales (example: Funky Funguns, small mushrooms represented in Claude Como's installation, measure 3 meters high). Her biological sculptures, evoking the living, reproduction and regeneration, create an immersive atmosphere, reminiscent of a forest or an infinite garden in which the viewer is invited to lose himself.
Finally, with "Prière de toucher", Claude Como offers us an experience beyond the conventional framework, thus confirming the liveliness, immersion and freedom inherent in her work. In her assemblages, no limits are visible; she uses cells to compose on the walls, thus creating unique and in situ installations, combining the works in such a way as to create a complete painting, the essence of which varies according to the place and the viewing angle. Some of her works are even arranged in such a way as to be rotated, reversed or inverted to offer an even more immersive experience.
