Five years after her first exhibition at the Mélanie Rio Fluency gallery, Irma Kalt presents a selection of recent works, including a new series of pastel drawings. “Traverser les lignes” invites viewers to engage in a poetic contemplation of time, where each day is transformed into a unique work of art, an intimate and sensitive echo of the passing hours.

To mark the closing of the exhibition (Sunday, March 29), the gallery has invited artist Salomé Ingelbrecht to present her performance entitled “Poésie Minute”.

IIrma Kalt was born in Strasbourg in 1987.

After graduating from the Nantes Métropole School of Fine Arts in 2012, she continued her artistic research within various collectives: The Second Kiss Company, Silence Fôret, and Sill.

Her work revolves mainly around a strong interest in lines and patterns. She plays with the infinite possibilities offered by patterns. Stripes, grids, and geometry are tools that allow the artist to explore space and time while developing a vocabulary of forms.

Whether through sculpture, drawing, or installation, she constantly plays with constructing and deconstructing forms and objects collected on a daily basis. It is an endless game, because the possibilities are infinite. Thus, all her projects are continually reactivated in other guises. She attempts to reach the point where one form can become another by oscillating between different figures.
