Côme Mosta-Heirt's Chiaroscuro Sculptures at Vassivière
Côme Mosta-Heirt, who previously focused on painted sculpture, now creates works with dark painted elements that eliminate anecdotal details and produce a unique chiaroscuro effect when combined with transparent surfaces. The interplay of shadows and light alternately distends and contracts the surrounding space. Chantal Béret reviewed the artist's recent exhibition at the Centre d'art contemporain de Vassivière-en-Limousin.
