Blue is the colour of ambiguous depth, of heaven and the abyss. In the Renaissance it is the colour of divine beauty. In Tibetan Buddhism, the concepts of consciousness and wisdom are an intense blue. For Astrid Colomar blue as aspect of white light is the colour of emptiness, which contains everything.
In this exhibition, as usual in the work of Colomar, she raises the question of reality without limits, probing between interior exterior (subjective-objective). In the first paintings of blue on aluminium, the artist evoked this spatial amplitude through gradations of blue, more or less dense, but always present. Now and after the death of her mother, the artist introduces a new area of concern for her radicalism: the absence.
