Colette LaVette's paintings narrate the story of a mystical realm, where utopia and dystopia are intertwined in the lyrical portrayal of human nature. With biomorphic forms emerging from intuitive, expressionist marks, LaVette's paintings continue to provide intrigue as new elements are discovered each time they are viewed. The artist's aim is to provoke in the viewer a sort of visceral introspection, using the exploration of the concept of 'Primitivism' to prompt the audience to think about our disposition outside of societal rules, reconnecting to nature and consequently to ourselves and the people who came before us, as well as to those who will come after.
