Delphine Rocher's canvases combine colors with subtle harmonies, joyful like the beginning of summer. They lead the viewer into a radiant world. For this first personal exhibition at the Atelier Piece Unique, the artist presents his latest series: Madame Rêve, the New Western. Their title refers to those of pop songs, where lightness is combined with poetry. The touches of color could be musical notes, the repeated patterns of heady melodies… In Madame Rêve, young women seem to be levitating in a landscape upside down. Their transparent body lets leaves and clouds appear… In the New Western series produced following a trip to the American West, the artist deals with the relationship between man and landscape. “I'm a fan of painter David Hockney and his works on the Grand Canyon. It was my dream to see the landscapes he had painted. I have not been disappointed. I felt this difference in scale between men and the immensity of the landscapes. And their inconsistency vis-à-vis the sublime nature. In my paintings, I tried to make the formal interweaving of man in the environment, his status as a spectator. The artist plays with reality and the incongruous. She creates a jump in space, a truncated perspective, an inverted image, multiple sources of light. “I like to isolate the gesture and make it mysterious. My characters are often out of balance, they fall or rise. »Delphine Rocher also likes to navigate between small formats which require precision, restraint and large canvases which require breadth, depth, material. “I like to mix techniques, push them to the limit, contradict them: inks, pen, black chalk, my little press, stamp sheets…” From this alchemy are born almost cinematographic scenes, in front of which the spectator takes pleasure to stop and dream.
