Gabrielle Graessle
CARAMBOLE
Fruit of an intuitive and playful collision between memories, ideas and associations Gabrielle Graessle brings her vibrant imagery to Alzueta Gallery Madrid under the title «CARAMBOLE». In the first instance the title refers to the French, pocketless, billiard tables that play a part in the artist’s leisure time, yet interestingly enough, in Spanish ‘carambola’ means something like ‘a lucky shot’, a coincidence.
In preparation for her upcoming exhibition, Gabrielle has meticulously selected a collection of artworks that evoke a sense of intrigue and allure. The relationship with her own practice is characterized by an ever-evolving appreciation for different works at different stages of her artistic journey. While she does not discard any of her works, her process involves a discerning approach to selecting paintings for exhibition and public display. This selection process is informed by her evolving artistic vision and the ongoing dialogue between her past and present works.
What it can evoke in the viewer is back to ‘carambole’; a connection, a ‘coup de foudre’… an impact between two bodies, promising an encounter that will leave no room for indifference.
