Sylvie Gedda

Sylvie Gedda works and lives in New Aquitaine France

After several years of work on paste painting and movements (1st solo exhibition in Paris in 1981) she directed her work on fluidity and transparencies.

From 2006 onwards she amplified the transparencies and played more with reflections and lights. Her preferred medium has thus become synthetic glass (100 x 100 cm plates painted on both sides). To the manufacture of oil paints, she replaces the epoxy resin, cast on the support and within which she introduces inks and pigments. The surface is glossy, solid and has different thicknesses depending on the superposition of the coloured films processed in the resin.

Since mid-2015, strong tof this experience on synthetic glass, the return to the canvas has been a natural choice. The resin having proved its worth (paintings installed outside: Arcachon waterfront, Sarlat lanes,...) she uses the same technique on canvas, her experience on synthetic glass allows her to anticipate the effects produced and to be able to drive and control them.

Her sources of inspiration are inspired by Nature in the broadest sense possible: cosmic, microscopic, terrestrial, aquatic, human. She's interested in life.

She proposes a work in all shades of diaphanous films, hoping to touch the viewer, offering him all the poetry of shapes, colours and lights so that he can weave secret links with Nature and reconnect with his imagination, humanity, essence and partiality.
