Allosiette: Four Decades of Painting the Invisible Geometry of Light
Claudette Allosio, known artistically as Allosiette, is a seasoned French painter with more than four decades of experience, celebrated for her examination of nature's unseen frameworks. A graduate of the Grenoble School of Fine Arts, she shifted from using acrylics and mixed media to dry pastels. Her artwork merges figuration with abstraction, emphasizing feelings and connections over literal depiction. Drawing inspiration from artists like Odilon Redon, Wassily Kandinsky, Paul Klee, and Pierre Soulages, she serves as the founding president of Pastel en Dauphiné. One of her significant pieces, 'Cosmic Dance' (50 x 50 cm, pastel and mixed media), showcases her emphasis on color and rhythm. She intends to further investigate color and light while preparing a series of books on pastel.
