Artwork location: France

Murals In the Nimbus series, Alchimy is the most spectacular tondo. A sacred halo, the wall sculpture is adorned with the symbol of pure luxury. Alchemy, "alchimia" in medieval Latin, is a word dear to the imagination of Fabienne Auzolle. No wonder for this artist who manages to transform the earth into a luminous, poetic quintessence. In the 2010s, the artist's imagination found a masterful development in the creation of monumental murals. This change of scale which appears in his work gives him 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 for me meditative. 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 a white evokes antiquity. This multitude of shades offers the infinity of a color, a dive into pure color. Repeat, start over, repeat, start over ... Fabienne Auzolle loves everyday life, the quiet rhythm of studio life. The daily ritual that returns to a soothing function. She finds serenity in the repetition of things, in the cadence of movement. Her art is thus made up of an action that she reiterates, and, on the way, she creates her works: like her pendants that she adds and reshapes, to compose her works. An abundance of shades of the same color, declined on thousands of small ceramic pieces, pierced with a hole and stitched in staggered rows on a canvas of spectacular diameter. Tassel after tassel, she places her ceramic mosaics like a giant and prolific painting in which her colorful compositions harmonize. It is an endless and constantly renewed work: vast golden or autumn tondo, 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 glow. The artist uses recurring shapes: the mandorla (oval or the almond shape in which sacred figures are inscribed), the square, the circle. The tassel is not molded. She does not want calibrated forms to have a living work.
