Corine Sylvia Congiu, Violette n°1

Presentation

"There is in painting and photography this strange power to establish a yet unprecedented complicity with the viewer: perhaps that of still unacknowledged emotions." Corine Sylvia Congiu

Corine Sylvia Congiu, born August 5, 1953 in Meknes, Morocco, is a contemporary French artist of Sardinian descent. She lives and works in Varennes-Jarcy, in Essonne.

After being accepted for the Plastic Arts aggregation, she completed a DEA in Aesthetics, two years of philosophy at La Sorbonne while undertaking a career as a painter.

Protean visual artist whose preferred medium remains painting, however, where she is situated as "radically abstract, in a gestural and expressionist movement", she also practices drawing, photography, video, publishes a novel and several short stories, for which she wins a few awards.

Since 1987, she regularly exhibits her works in galleries (Galeries Jean, Keller, Génie de la Bastille in Paris, About Art in Argenteuil, Galerie Depardieu in Nice), salons (Villeparisis, Montrouge, Comparaisons, Première Vision, Art Cité ...), Cultural centers (Institut du Monde Arabe...) Museums (Brunoy and Museum of Damascus, Syria) and other notable places (Saint-Nicolas Sables d'Olonne Priory, Saint Nicolas Chapel, Croissy sur Seine)

From 1995, his works were exhibited successively in Moscow, Seoul, Hong Kong, Alexandria, Genoa, San Francisco, Algiers, Damascus, Chicago, Rio de Janeiro, Vienna, Ferrara, Vooburg. In 1992, she carried out a Public Order, a painted environment (floor, walls and columns) with a total area of 350 m2 in the hall of the Lycée Hugues-Capet in Senlis.

In 1998, winner of the City of Evry Competition, Abolition of slavery, she completed a painting of 10 m × 2 m, which she donated to the Telethon.

From 1994, she collaborated regularly as an actress and scenographer, in the work of Luc Fritsch, playwright and director: She created the entire pictorial environment, at the Théâtre de l'Hôpital Ephémère, i.e. 25 projected paintings on the big screen (3m x 4m) of the theatrical performance "Ruins / After-Vietnam through the survival of a couple" and provides the leading female role. She participated in the sets and created the leading role in "La Ballade des mégots secs", a play by Bernard Mazéas, directed by Luc Fritsch in 1999 in the Cave à Théâtre in Colombes.

In 2004, for a commission from the Art Dialogue Foundation under the aegis of the Institut de France, she executed the installation Histoire d'une ligne, ten monumental canvases of 400 cm × 200 cm and 200 cm × 200 cm on the walls of the City of Yerres, and obtains a purchase by the city.

In June 2014, she produced the paintings and drawings for Cosmophonies, a double-voice show conceived at the Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord by Hubert Reeves as part of the Festival Jazz Nomades.

She publishes texts in academic journals, developing a theory of Abstract Figures, which distinguishes her work from traditional lyrical abstraction. Both gestural and geometric, these Figures of thought play like a rebus of superimposed signs in the watermark of the canvas: "My painting is an open place where a theater of abstract figures is played out, which have an energy, a journey, a role within actions that form a dramaturgy. »
