Violaine Boisivon

Violaine Boisivon says that it is her hands that model, as if they were detached from any intention, from any project and from the outside gaze that punctuates her.

This is the confession of all the great intuitives, gestural artists overwhelmed by the dazzlingness of their gestures. Violaine Boisivon and her hands produce earthen sculptures frozen in suspended movement whose expression is that of a powerful and complex interior life.

The patina of his sculptures, which combines several techniques, contributes on certain pieces to an intuitive gestural painting, a colorfield which by saturating the form gives it a more meditative dimension.

There are artists who create a world. Violaine Boisivon is one of these artists: her sculptures, like so many avatars of herself, dialogue with a poetic and pictorial narration, most often funny, and from which torment if not violence are not excluded.
