The big picture

"Nothing ever appears that might reduce this work to a commentary on current events: no slogans - consensual or provocative - no depictions of migrant boats, no images of yellow vests or Notre- Dame in flames, just a lifting of color, between light and half-light. In this respect, Claire Chesnier's painting may appear disconnected from the "questioning of our times" conventionally demanded of artists, but it is precisely this apparent silence that gives it its authentically political dimension. A painting is the result of the sum of gestures and decisions that underpin its accuracy, and therefore its ethical significance."
