Brigitte Nicole Grice’s ongoing Quartets painting series transfixes the canvas into four quadrants, each acting as a specific spell, coda and evocation to a higher divine consciousness. The artist’s Quartets bring forth meditated distillations on her lived-experiences to the esoteric, loves, and a symphonic gesture to the quartet. Her Quartets onjuring loose associations to the poet- ics, dialogue and cinematic references transferred to the painted medium. Dialogue used in her film such as “Anyone who imagines all fruits open at the same time as strawberries knows nothing about grapes” seeps into the painted framework. Born 1987 in Los Angeles, CA, Brigitte Nicole Grice is an artist, filmmaker, poet and scholar on Surrealism. She received a B.S. in Journalism and Art History from Boston University, an M.A. in Aesthetics and Politics at CalArts and recently submitted her doctorate at the University of Essex entitled International Surrealism and the Contemporary Epoch: A Surrealist Document with Questions, Principles and Memory Maps—a written thesis and ongoing documentary film project.
