    Galerie Marguo is thrilled to announce Shimmering Waves, a special presentation of a series of new paintings by Claudia Keep at Shanghai's style destination Le MONDE de SHC (LMDS), opening during Shanghai Art Week and on view from 9 November to 8 December 2024.

     

    For Claudia Keep's first exhibition in China, we find her paintings nestled amongst the finery that constitutes Le MONDE de SHC, a one of its kind concept store located in Shanghai's French Concession, that seamlessly brings together exquisitely crafted fashion and objects in a carefully designed three-storey building that feels more like a salon – or, fittingly, a jewel-box – than a shop.

  • Claudia Keep’s small, meditative tableaux of everyday scenes are often referred to as little jewels. Like gems, they seem to radiate bursts of color, catching our eye and luring us in. Their vibrant pigments applied alla prima refract light off their textured brushtroked surfaces.

     

    In the case of her diurnal and nocturnal vistas of rippling bodies of water, they literally twinkle. Their constellations of irregular white dabs unfurl across the picture plane, and like the cropped views of flowering shrubs, come to resemble the repetitive, abstracted motif of a patterned textile meant to tease the eye around the form it drapes.

  • "When I first viewed Claudia Keep's work in 2023, I was indeed quickly captured by her sense of 'the moment.' Seemingly random romantic moments, fleeting moments ...... The artist revels in her own observations of life, while at the same time having a chic New York attitude that resonates with me as a viewer."
