In keeping with her exhibiting her art in unexpected places, Colette unveiled her “metaphysical portraits” at destination NY, 32-36 Little West 12th Street, in the heart of the Meatpacking district. In contrast to her earlier work, which is known for its Baroque aesthetic, these portraits are minimal in style. The subjects for the paintings were of friend, art colleagues and some celebrities, all unlabeled. The most recognizable and well known were David Bowie, Jeff Koons, Susan Sarandon, Richard Gere, Lauren Hutton, Patrick McMullan, Martha Stewart, Jim Jarmusch, Debbie Harry, Bill Murray, Katharina Otto Bernstein, Anthony Haden Guest, Rufus Wainwright, Sylvia Miles, Donald Baechler, Vivian Horan and Kevin Baker.
Inside the space, another installation, “That’s All She Wrote," consisted of two rows of the new portraits that hung on light lavender painted walls. While creating these, Colette aimed to reflect the interior and unseen side of her subjects rather than their familiar façade. Each remained identifiable.
There were also “performance paintings” of the artist as a magician, pirate and genie, as well as black and white "word canvases" with Colette’s mottos such as “Fight terror with glamor.” Various Artifacts from her life in art were showcased as well. |
