When she was a child, Béatrice Duroure liked to take refuge in the hut built by her father at the bottom of the garden. As he dreamed of being an artist, his lair was filled with art books and painting materials. Beatrice's love of art was born in this place, sheltered from the tumult of the world. The little girl followed in her father's footsteps, she took the brushes to color her nearby universe. A few decades later, the artist presents his first personal exhibition at the Atelier Piece Unique. In her recent paintings, she likes to evoke padded atmospheres where time seems to stand still. The imposed confinement and this strange period that we have just lived have exacerbated his inspiration as well as his desire for serenity. “I observe the world constantly with a painter's gaze. I take all my time to detail the light, the shapes, the attitudes. I am a contemplative. »Cafe scenes, urban landscapes, nocturnal atmospheres: the exhibition unveils a series of canvases with a melancholy scent, which are reminiscent of Edward Hopper… With a very precise touch, the artist likes to play with contrasts between bluish colors of the night and the radiant interiors, between the air absent from consumers and the gentle warmth of beverages. “If my works were music, they would be a jazz tune, where improvisation enriches the imposed theme. I start from an interior scene, and I invent. I introduce colorful compositions, I take a character out of the frame. »Fan of Alice in Wonderland, the artist likes, like his heroine, to go beyond the mirror, see behind the scenes and return it to us in all its magic.
