“Mimesis” by Mireille Ripoll

Mireille Ripoll etches and plays around with a single matrix, until it surrenders – in both the literal and figurative senses, letting forms emerge as they emerge, like automatic writing, without thinking, in an organic, instinctive way.

Her current project is composed of monotypes, portraits of the other artists who have been at GlogauAIR during her residency. The pieces are developed through a variety of processes, depicting a personal impression of the portrayed artists.

She will be exhibiting at Hotel Gat Point Charlie from the 20th of January to the 3rd of March 2016.
