Penetrating the Vein

highlights from the press release

Paint means seduction, seduction means death: for every hunter, there is a fawn trembling in silent hysteria. Death is slow, yet sudden when it comes. There is his mouth, all anticipation.
Here is my neck. (Corinne Halbert)

Halbert's characters are abstracted from Werner Herzog's 1979 release Nosferatu: the Vampyre; starring the deeply enigmatic Klaus Kinski and Isabella Adjani as the ravishing and strange Lucy Harker. The signal colors:black, white and red dominate her works. The vampires ashen face and deep-set eyes; the victim's pale skin; her tempting blood red lips and long dark hair; the darkness of the surroundings and the blood running from the wound on her neck. A strange couple, united in an intimate play of domination and submission.

Each painting becomes a moment within a sequence, as if frames on a film spool. In film, multiple frames make up a second of time in the form of moving pictures. In my paintings, I want each piece to function as a grouping of frames or a still from a scene. In this way, the paintings are part of a larger narrative, born of imagination and light. This larger, growing and unfinished narrative cuts to the core of my work. (Corinne Halbert)
