Artwork location: France

The imagination of the artist has found a masterly development in her mural artworks. The wall installations are made of various shades of colors of ceramic pendants sewn on a former linen canvas. Canva is fixed on wooden frame.

Wall works: the Nimbes series A motionless journey into a magical and mysterious night sky. A dive into the dark that makes us lose our bearings and absorbs our dark thoughts like a black hole absorbs light. The artist plays here with a multitude of effects between matte and gloss, inspired in turn by graphite or old lace. As if facing a window overlooking the sea, we like to sit in front of the work every day and let our gaze wander through its sinuous reliefs. Falsely monochrome and subtly asymmetrical, this large tondo nevertheless surprises with its harmony. Made up of a multitude of delicate tassels, it patiently reveals its mysteries to contemplative spectators. In the 2010s, the artist's imagination found a masterful development in the creation of monumental mural works. This change of scale which appears in his work gives it a new dimension. “I put these wall pieces in a circle because it’s the perfect proportion. The tondo are directly inspired by the mandala: sacred circle. For me these works are spiritual journeys. When I create them, there is a repetitive gesture in the making of the tassels which becomes meditative for me. And for the viewer there is also a meditative path in contemplation. » It’s a dive into luminous color. While an intense red warms the heart, a deep blue recalls the sea and the purity of white evokes antiquity. This multitude of shades offers the infinity of a color, a dive into pure color. Repeat, start again, repeat, start again... Fabienne Auzolle loves everyday life, the quiet rhythm of workshop life. The ritual of each day which has a soothing function. She finds serenity in the repetition of things, in the cadence of movement. Her art is thus composed of an action that she reiterates, and, along the way, she creates her works: like her tassels that she adds and reshapes, to compose her works. An abundance of shades of the same color, available on thousands of small ceramic pieces, pierced with a hole and sewn in a staggered pattern on a canvas of spectacular diameter. Tassel by tassel, she places her ceramic mosaics like a giant and prolific painting where her colorful compositions harmonize. It is an endless and constantly renewed work: vast tondo of gold or autumn, oceanic painting, the artist draws his colors as a painter would on a canvas. The canvas becomes volume, moving and luminous, in which the material gives a resonant, almost sonorous shine. The artist uses recurring shapes: the mandorla (oval or almond shape in which sacred characters are inscribed), the square, the circle. The tassel is not molded. She does not want calibrated forms to have a living work.
