The Water Lilies' Series
Gabrielle Thierry's series "The Musicality of Water Lilies" was inspired by her rediscovery of the Water Lilies landscapes of Claude Monet in 2010. She is the only artist to have spent 300 hours in total immersion in the oval rooms of the Musée de l'Orangerie to understand their evocation. During 18 months, and 100 sessions of work, she translated eight of Monet's landscapes into colored musical scores. Thierry's work concentrates on visual representations of music and strives to show interactions between color, form, notes and musical compositions. The first exhibition of her series has been held in at the Iris and B. Gerald Cantor Art Gallery.
