Gabriella Cleuren, Family Beach Tahiti, 2006
Watercolor on paper, 15 x 20 cm (5 5/16 x 7 5/16 in.)
Brittany’s nature is a powerful primeval element, especially the ocean that violently crashes against the rocks and the seashore, but also leads to magnificent beaches and islands. That fascination for sand and water is visible in my works‘; the remarkable daily occurring sandy connection of the mainland to the island of Raquenez is the theme. The tide exposes the corridor or closes it at moment’s notice. This rhythm repeats itself every six hours and gives the passageway a very significant charm, where people repetitively discover small crustaceans, shells, wondrous rocks and creeks, spending hours in exploration, fascinated by all treasures that wash up from the sea, which are never identical.

Gabriella Cleuren, Beach and water, 2011
Oil chalk on Steinbach paper, 15 x 18 cm (5 7/8 x 7 in.)
An image of summer joy, the sea, and people on the beach. The images were taken on the beach Tahiti, Racquenez where I sat and recorded for hours and days. In order to keep the sea and beach visible, the figures are notated fragmentary, with at least a few lines to guarantee legibility, sometimes even transparent. The technique is in oil chalk which guarantees a direct writing and is not erased on the sand. It is a composition and omission exercise. What do I note to represent a figure with minimal means. It is also a coloring and writing exercise.
