Living and working between Amsterdam and Paris, Noémie Lacroix is a multidisciplinary artist specialized in textile and tapestry weaving. Using a variety of mediums such as screen printing, engraving and painting, she mostly works on paper and textile. By representing and arranging together archetypal geometric shapes inspired by nature, at the same time angular, round and linear, Noémie Lacroix creates a movement between structure and lightness. Her symbols and figures are displaced as the textile gently undulates in the space. The artist seeks to find a point of balance between the geometrical forms, easily measurable, and the organic ones, more diffuse. Doing so, her gesture reconciles complementary dualities.
In Noémie Lacroix’s work, the viewer is invited to reimagine and reinterpret familiar objects and concepts in the wake of circulating patterns. These movements are infinite, as they thicken, shrink, undulate, distort, roll, crease, spread or underline the meaningful images. Likewise, transparency plays a central role in her creations. Through this relativity, the artist’s visual language becomes a scale of representation of the world, which she calls “language-form”.
