Carole Bressan
France
Presentation
Carole Bressan has been exhibiting her work mainly in France but also abroad since 2005.
For about ten years she has developed several series, "Narrative Patchworks", "Envolées"... The technique is then oriented towards collage, calligraphy and research of materials, in the service of very composed canvases with dreamlike subjects.
In 2017, she began a series that she calls Poetics of the Landscape.
Of this new orientation she says:
"From now on, my painting is oriented towards a poetic evocation of nature. In these "Poetics of the Landscape" I try to summon the sacred character inherent in the landscapes contemplated, objects of evocation of a vast range of emotions, feelings and sentiments.
The technique evolves, the canvases are first covered with plaster, then knives and brushes navigate on and between the asperities and reliefs. Numerous possibilities of transparencies, filter effects and superimpositions are created thanks to a whole set of coloured juices (a technique close to watercolour and to which polymorphic acrylics can be compared).
Carole Bressan's paintings are almost entirely flat and depend on multiple stages of drying, at the rhythm of these superimposed juices.
The paintings are often vibrant, imbued with an energetic signature and spontaneity that gives the representation an ephemeral character and a feeling of immediacy.
"Warm colours, cold colours, materials on the shelf or in motion, diffuse or sharp light: each of Carole Bressan's paintings is an invitation to a poetic elsewhere, an intimate notebook that reveals itself to us. The landscapes she transfigures are there, as if to bring us back to a tangible reality that does not seem to have any hold on time. Nature is timeless and a source of resilience.
