LAURENCE AMÉLIE – FRANCE Amongst the artist’s at the Asia Contemporary Art Show opening October 2nd look out for Laurence Amélie, daughter of renowned Swiss abstract painter Gérard Schneider, who continues the family tradition of painting. She paints from her idyllic country setting near Fontainebleau. It is the house where her father, a contemporary of Picasso who was friends with Zao Wou-Ki, Chu Teh-Chun and Hans Hartung, painted during the active mid-20th century abstract period. With him, the artist learned classical painting of the 18th century. She paints using acrylic, and spends days preparing the background colour washes of her work, gradually adding new layers of subtle tones which give great depth to every piece. Inspired by nature, the seasons, the changing light and the disarray of wild rambling country flowers, Amélie is well known in France and in the USA, and her work is becoming increasingly sought after.
