Nicole Pfund, C'est à quelle heure
France  • 1957

Presentation

Since 2006 Nicole Pfund exhibited in various galleries and in places prestigieuxen France, but also in Brussels, Liege, in COLOGNE, in London...

Museums buy his works... This is the case of the strings on Sky and the Mans Museum...

She is also an illustrator of books Aboubacar Eros SISSOKO and Ziad MEDHOUK; She organizes workshops of Visual arts, since 2002, in partnership with the Consulate of France in Jerusalem.

It is difficult to find an artist whose work is so original, so subtle, as engaging in interpretation than that of the Swiss painter Nicole Pfund, installed in Midi-Pyrenees since 1984. His work tells stories tasty animals musicians brushed in the foreground playing a musical instrument or waiting, observers or ignorant, solitary or accomplices.

His artistic work is the design, invention, imagination to make sense and shape to give it: "cosa mentale e pintura". Musicians animals form the iconic node of the correspondences which, through the States of mind of the artist, can suggest scenes from everyday life. The whole is crowned by the humor, tenderness, the insight of emotional colors. Discern human values is one thing, find another color, but apply fair colored themes, requires female intuition rooted in careful observation.

Nicole Pfund dread silence. She dreads. It's a phobia permanent, worthy to scare any monastic relationship. To chase away the chaos of the silence and carry in a reassuring thoughts vagrancy, she's constantly listening to music. And, although unacknowledged, the full weight of his emotional nature reflected in his paintings: the musicians convey sounds in austere frigidity crepes sets, a new language of hope. It creates a loophole: windows and doors ancestral home to freedom, to flee, to escape to the spaces of the adventure, play of light contrast on dark grounds, the idea of happiness, bearing and extending everything up to the universal, deserves to be conquered by the simplest of mortals.

"My paintings are filled with silence that instruments of music may thwart" admits Nicole Pfund. How to ease our feeling of fullness. It's more to study the impact of light on the accidents of the shape, but the musician animal himself, as a generator potential survival, such a source of latent energy, with its face of rodent, to red as his bow tie, his costume nose three piece, worthy of a character straight out of a Venetian masked ball.

As music is also true by melodies that are like the beaches of momentum toward the exaltation of rhythm or sound, paint needs to rest areas who argue by contrast the flavors of the material and color. Nicole Pfund works with the knife and paint oil, using different colours according to his mood swings. It can be considered an unpredictable artist, both brings and humorous, also fearful that sarcastic but it is also with sensitivity and refinement that she put his seal on his works. The amazing range of its possibilities of expression is the titillating look as it relates to society. She wants to communicate his lyricism, talking long still to the men of tomorrow.

She's a wonderful woman that it is essential to meet. For an obvious reason: it was the personable of an artist who knows how to make you love these characters. There his paintings to abolish time, they stop the vision at any given time, and somehow the space, since they put the viewer in the place that Nicole Pfund had chooses for Siena.
