Éléments,
Solo Exhibition by Victoire Cathalan Opening: January 19, 2017, in the presence of the artist Exhibition: Until March 11, 2017
"Elements Each element makes us exist. And our existence must celebrate them. In the age of the ephemeral, I give the spectator time to observe this nature, to explore these elements. Painting is an infinite time. It builds slowly; I take it back, I return to it. Sometimes, it takes several years. Layers overlap, just like the elements, and my strangely familiar images evoke memories. The paintings open up to the imagination and personal experience of each individual; they show how the world is stitched together. Material and color give new existence to water, air, and stone. The external space resonates in the inner world of each one. The paintings obey no rules, and the multiplicity of my sources contributes to the abolition of these rules."
