A large scale itinerary
Artist Sabine Cibert was born in 1956, and divides her time between Lyon and the French Alps, as a source of inspiration and a view of landscapes and nature.
Parallel to her career as an architect in city planning, she has taught herself to work with textiles over the past 40 years. Her work on urban networks as yet informs her art.
Sabine crafts her works entirely by hand, applying the golden ratio to piece together textile squares. She works slowly, almost as if meditating. Her ensuing, original production yet feels familiar, well-ordered, fine- tuned.
Working in series, she develops varying formats that all explore similar colour schemes, or obey similar guiding principles.
She started out making giant compositions in the manner of ancient tapestries and historic paintings, tapping into tradition, reminiscent of techniques used by Amish women.
Boasting a seminal quality in terms of material, weave and chromatics, textiles are for Sabine an opportunity to explore what she finds fascinating:colour. Clearly reprising abstract art from the latter half of the 20th century, she makes vivid use of colour to explore contemporary issues related to the climate emergency.
In the past five years, Sabine Cibert has also developed increasingly intimate compositions, reducing the surface area, while maintaining the same presence. Themes from her initial, outsized works contract into vibrations.
Sabine Cibert is represented by the Showroom Galerie_7 in Lyon and often participates in group exhibitions in France, as well as in mediation projects for a diverse audience.
Since 2004, her work has featured in nine international exhibitions.
