Loïe, the Night

Loïe, the Night — Corinne Malfreyt
Original Painting | Acrylic and Oil on Canvas | 2021

Loïe, the Night immerses the viewer in the shadowed glow of Fuller's serpentine movement. A symbolist nocturne where color becomes choreography — dark grounds punctuated by luminous accents, the dancer's form emerging from and dissolving into darkness. Sand applied to the canvas, acrylic layers for matte texture, oil knife work for movement highlights: the surface holds the full physical record of its making.

About Corinne Malfreyt

Corinne Malfreyt is a French painter whose practice is rooted in the observation of dance and movement. Her Loïe Fuller series draws on the pioneer of modern dance — translating her luminous, fabric-driven choreography into layered, textured painting.
