Naomie Kremer's upcoming exhibition, 'Duende,' showcases her unique approach to painting, which combines pure impulse with technical precision. Influenced by the concept of 'duende' as defined by Federico Garcia Lorca, Kremer emphasizes the importance of spontaneity in her creative process. Studying art history, especially Kandinsky's ideas on abstraction, has shaped her method of creating dynamic and story-rich abstract works. The exhibition features a collection of fifteen paintings and one video, reflecting her deep engagement with movement and conceptual depth in art-making, inviting viewers to explore the narratives within her pieces.
"I have to pay close attention to when the impulse ends. I have to recognize where it needs to be nurtured and coaxed to its natural conclusion."
"Duende is the essence of performance at the highest level, whether on the guitar or with a paintbrush."
"What distinguishes the current work conceptually is that I'm conjuring stories and events within those places."
"The act is pure impulse, drawing on decades of practice. Though necessary, dexterity is not sufficient."
