Véronique Bourdon

Self-taught, follower of mixed media, Véronique Bourdon collects, assembles and superimposes various materials on a background of cold tones warmed up by dazzling colorful touches. 

His works are rooted off the beaten track on the borders of figuration and abstraction, in the precise place where matter is celebrated. If the inscription within an abstract painting technique is manifest, the artist manages to free himself from it by not seeking to evacuate any form of sensibility in his relation to the work. The objects gradually become familiar, figurative and delirious, projections of an unconscious so often magnified in the practices of the surrealists. 

From time to time, it is the numbers and letters that arise from beneath the material and then appear as the geographic coordinates of a destination still unknown, whose untitled works complete the puzzle. Véronique Bourdon's practice should be grasped as an invitation to travel for which her paintings will be our vessel.
