Heide Trepanier

Las composiciones de Heide Trepanier (Richmond, 1970) se pueden entender como metáforas de la naturaleza humana sin control: deseo, destrucción, perversidad, envidia. Las manchas biomórficas que se desenvuelven y respiran sobre un fondo monocromo que actúa como pantalla o escenario, nacen del dripping que luego Trepanier modela y dirige hasta conseguir las formas y la escenografía deseada. Ella pinta como si fuese una coreógrafa o directora: una vez que estas formas orgánicas están concebidas y emplazadas donde ella lo desea, interactúan entre ellas como si fueran actores narrando historias que, debido a su abstracción, son abiertas. Estas formas en continuo cambio muestran en su piel los "fallos" de la pintura (grietas e imperfecciones), como si fueran seres vivos en continuo cambio. La viscosidad de sus formas acentúa este tipo de pasiones, no sabemos cómo van a evolucionar en cada momento.
Heide Trepanier ha expuesto en "More Life-Performance", Regency Mall, Richmond; "New Paintings", Stefan Stux Gallery, 2004 y "Altered Interiors", Second Street Gallery, Virginia, 2004.

The compositions of Heide Trepanier (Richmond, 1970) can be understood as metaphors of uncontrolled human nature: desire, destruction, perversity, envy. The biomorphic stains that develop and breath on a monochrome background acting as screen or stage, are a result of the dripping that Trepanier then goes on to model and direct until she achieves the desire shapes and scenography. She paints as though she were a choreographer or director: once these organic forms are conceived and placed where she wants them, they interact among each other like actors narrating stories which are open due to their abstraction. These continuously changing shapes show on their skin the “faults” in the painting (cracks and imperfections), as though they were living things in continuous evolution. The viscosity of their forms accentuates this type of passion, and we do not know how they are going to evolve from one moment to another.
