Claudia Comte: Leaves I, 2021. Platanus wood, 151 x 41 x 17 cm.
The internationally recognized Swiss artist Claudia
Comte works in many different media but is best known for her large installations. Here, she creates immersive environments that circles considerations of climate. She continually works to bring humans into dia-logue with nature. The work Leaves I is part of a large series of sculptures that all takes shape of leaves. Comte’s work can be viewed in a critical context of human’s entrance to the Anthropocene era where it is recognized that humanity
for centuries has taken resources from the globe without considering the values that nature also represents.
