LIANE ABDALLA
Liane Abdalla's work investigates the relationships between the body, matter and landscape. Her process is marked by the collection of natural materials, the use of organic pigments and ongoing research into the cycles of nature and the pictorial gesture as sensitive archaeology. The artist explores supports such as reclaimed wood, recycled paper and canvas, creating visual environments that move between the real and the imaginary, between territory and memory.
ARTIST STATEMENT
Everything begins with tension. The moment pigment touches the surface, or when a line cuts through the blank space. Nothing is controlled. Chance dictates rhythms, imposes detours. I walk through uncertainty. Mistakes cease to be flaws: they become material, gesture, narrative. I invent rules and disobey them all. Art, to me, is a territory of rupture – a place where the predictable has no place.
My process is visceral. I work in a state of listening, provoking the material to react. I test, layer, take risks. Color is not a complement – it is a vital presence, pulsing like a body. From absolute black to the most vibrant tones, each layer carries tension and memory.
I create images like someone mapping an unknown territory. Points that vibrate, lines that tangle, textures that accumulate until they form dense, almost hypnotic weaves. I don’t seek answers, nor obvious conclusions. My landscapes are open fictions. The viewer’s gaze is always part of the work. The unpredictable is my habitat.
