The surface of Natacha Donzé’s round canvas 'Spinning eye, monument' with its layered shades of blue color developes a strong pull and at the same time a cool cosmic atmosphere. From the centre outward spiral circles move to the edge of the piece and seem to gather there like bubbles, unable to escape. Donzé uses the spiral as a symbol of belief systems and unfathomable phenomena. The layering of various hues of blue gives the impression of expanse and depth, creating a boundless space in the centre. This deep color reminds one of cinematographical pictures or color codes of corporate identities while simultaneously representing a hypnotic vortex, circling through time and space, allowing access to different dimensions. The artist paints highly detailed and bright particles onto the canvas that seem to sit on the surface like microorganisms that have escaped the image. This iconographic complexity is typical for Donzé's work. With it's help she questions political, commercial and institutional systems, also today’s customary views while embedding fragments thereof in her imagery.
