Artwork location: France

This artwork, made with an acrylic painting technique, captures the vibrant and energetic essence of a nighttime urban scene. The painting features an iconic Victorian architectural style building, whose red bricks and ornate details are incredibly well rendered. The illuminated windows of the building suggest intense activity within, contrasting with the tranquility of the twilight sky, painted in soft blue tones. The mastery of light and shadow in this painting is particularly notable. The artist has succeeded in creating a warm and inviting atmosphere through the lighting of the windows and display cases on the ground floor, while the upper floors are lit more subtly. These plays of light bring a striking depth to the work, highlighting architectural details such as cornices and dormers. Attention to detail is also evident in the depiction of the surrounding elements, such as the white sports car parked in front of the building, adding a modern touch to the otherwise classic scene. The vegetation in the background blends gently into the scenery, providing a touch of greenery that contrasts with the dominant red and orange tones. This painting is a magnificent illustration of the meeting between past and present, capturing the timeless essence of architecture while integrating contemporary elements. The entire composition is balanced and harmonious, the rich and deep colors giving this work an atmosphere that is both nostalgic and dynamic.

Valerie Le Meur, L'invitation
France  • 1965

Presentation

Born in August 1965 in Boulogne-Billancourt (92), lives and works in Gif-sur-Yvette (91).

Member of the Salon d'Automne, Paris. Member of the Taylor Foundation, Paris.

Sensitive and offbeat by nature with the world around her, it was her encounter with the theater during her high school years that allowed her to discover an artistic universe in which she finally felt "in her place". She continued the theater for years but it was by moving to Gif-sur-Yvette in 2008 that she discovered acrylic painting with established artists. This artistic form becomes obvious because it passes from the role of performer in the theater to that of creator in painting. It will therefore be the artistic expression that will allow her to express her emotions and make a link with the world around her.After several years of lessons and personal work, she decides to face the critical gaze of the public. She then participated in the Festival of artists in her city, Gif-sur-Yvette, in June 2016 where she received an encouraging reception from the public and professionals. Since then, she has been painting full time and exhibiting regularly in France, (Paris region) and provinces) and abroad. Her collectors are French and foreign (Switzerland, Germany, Great Britain, United States, Singapore).
