Anatomie n°I 2003

Iseult Labote created "Anatomie n°I," an 80 x 120 cm artwork. The image presents a composition dominated by circular forms in varying shades of blue. These shapes, with their repetitive, almost rhythmic arrangement, evoke a sense of depth and dimensionality. The artwork's formal structure is particularly striking. The interplay of light and shadow across the circular shapes creates a dynamic visual experience. The textures, seemingly smooth yet subtly varied, invite closer inspection. This play with form and texture destabilizes the familiar, urging us to look beyond the surface. "Anatomie n°I" challenges fixed meanings through its abstract representation, prompting a semiotic interpretation. The shapes could be seen as signs, their arrangement a visual code that invites decoding. The artwork’s lack of explicit narrative underscores the idea that art exists as a site for ongoing interpretation, reflecting broader philosophical concerns about perception and representation.
