Colette La Vette @ Gillian Jason Gallery

‘Fruitful Lands’ narrates the story of a mystical realm, where utopia and dystopia are intertwined in the lyrical portrayal of human nature

Colette La Vette’s practice borrows attributes from Rococo aesthetic, characterised by elaborate and ornamental decorations, lightness, delicate chromatic palette, and a focus on the fantastical. Yet, while fascinated by the gentle romanticism and opulence of this style, the artist is concerned with grounding her narratives in more accurate representations of what it means to be human in its primordial sense.
