#5 - NathanaĆ«lle Herbelin - Painterš«š·
Ā For this fifth episode, I had the pleasure to interview painter NathanaĆ«lle Herbelin.Ā NathanaĆ«lle is one of those artists split between two cities, Paris and Tel Aviv in her case, who are continuously asked how the one and the other influence their art.Ā Thatās especially true for NathanaĆ«lle, whose paintings reveal a particular attention to places, and notably interiors, which are often represented as if they had their own soul, out of time.Ā Along with interiors, the French-Israeli artist loves painting daily objects and people caught in the midst of everyday actions.Ā But thereās a condition: NathanaĆ«lle says she needs to be deeply moved. Ā āMaybe they did something very generous or maybe they are lacking something, and itās this lack I want to paint.ā With NathanaĆ«lle, we talked about how her lockdown in a building in one of Tel Avivās poorest areas provided her with unlimited inspiration, how her studies in Paris taught her to use the technique without becoming a technician, and why it is important to give your practice the time it needs to develop.Ā Only this way, she says, lucky accidents can knock on the door.Ā NathanaĆ«lle on Instagram NathanaĆ«lleās portfolio NathanaĆ«lleās exhibition in Brest REFERENCES Georges Perec Fra Angelico Article by AnaĆ«l Pigeat The Talking Canvas Podcast on InstagramĀ The Talking Canvas Podcast on Facebook Reach out at [email protected]
