115. 115AR MARTHE WERY (1930-2005) Untitled 1997 Signed2 and dated on the back Acrylic on wood panel mounted on aluminium Getekend en gedateerd op de achterkant Acryl op houten paneel gemonteerd op aluminium 150 x 154 cm Provenance / Herkomst Private collection / Privécollectie, Brussels All my work is an elementary quest to live on the surface. Elementary, that is to say, seeking the essential through its minimum. Looking at Marthe Wéry's paintings helps to overturn ordinary values, in particular those that oppose surface and depth. This helps to change the way we look at the world, to capture other dimensions that are immediate, but that also reveal other possible arrangements with the distant. Marthe Wéry opens the way to a new ecology, inside-outside, between people and things, the inert and the animate.
