Nicole Anquetil

She throws herself on the canvas, the gesture is strong, the colors blue, black red explode. The barriers are shattered. When she doesn't try to please, to say too much to hide the essentials, when her painting is true, direct without compromise, she lets her volcanic temper express itself. Nicole Anquetil strips naked. In a dynamic gesture that only the limits of the canvas stop, she lets all that is strong inside her speak. Let the body that knows speak, not let itself go to make "pretty", tell the truth of the first gesture, the one that we do not calculate, the one that it will not try to hide under layers and layers of pictorial conventions. Dare to go to the primary meaning of painting "the subject of painting is not always the subject" and thus create veritable chromatic deflagrations. 

In her chromatic disorder, she searches for a guideline that her flashes in black often give her. In fact, Nicole Anquetil is a chromatic anarchist, from the chaos she tries to bring out a new organization, a balance of colors, a coherent whole. Limbo of the uncontrolled gestures, of the colorful explosion Nicole tells us: look, it's all me.
