Description

Acrylic, collage, marble powder, sand on linen — 60 x 60 cm

The layout of this work came to me one night, probably in resonance with what survives once fanaticism and barbarity have passed through — a nocturnal, almost involuntary genesis that gives the composition the force of an image that has surged up rather than been constructed.

Above a pale, bare, almost ashen ground, a sheet of red and orange fills the whole upper part of the canvas, crossed by a dark flow. Between the two, grey forms, like blocks or debris, seem to have been left there after a collapse. I tried to capture the essence of resilience and perseverance, illustrating humanity’s capacity to be reborn from darkness. In these forms and shadows I see a silent ballet, evoking both fragility and strength.

Sand, present here alongside the acrylic, collage and marble powder on the linen canvas, gives this already dense material an even more mineral texture. This is how I sum up my intention: a visual meditation on survival and transformation in the face of the darkest ordeals.

Presentation

The Breton light as a loom

There are artistic lives that are built in a straight line, and then there is that of Emmanuelle Vroelant, made of bifurcations that, each time, have led her a little further. Born in 1952, she studied clinical psychology, then a 5-year trip, which leads her to Vanuatu and towards painting: on site, two decisive encounters reveal within her a vocation that will never leave her. She exhibits for the first time in 1978, on the other side of the world.

Back in Paris, she opens her first studio in 1981 and exhibits for four years in a row at the Salon d'Automne. Different exhibitions in Paris and the provinces will follow. The inauguration of a gallery in New York will lead her to China.

A period of illness then distances her from the canvas, and she becomes a psychoanalyst and Art-therapist for several years, a parenthesis that undoubtedly refines her view of creation.

The real second breath arrives in 2006, when she leaves Paris to settle in Brittany, in Roscoff. The light of the Finistère coast becomes her raw material, and she finds a creative intensity that will carry the rest of her work. 

What strikes her is the frankness with which she embraces her influences without dissolving into them: Michelangelo, Vermeer, Kandinsky, Soulages. But it is Zao Wou-Ki whom she designates as her "true pictorial encounter," the one who showed her how silence and color could together inhabit the space of the canvas.

From this dialogue with the masters, a language of her own was born, "suggestive abstraction": large formats where the material — marble powder, mortar, collage, plant fibers — becomes the subject itself, carried by a demand for simplicity that is ever more radical. "Say more with less," as she likes to put it.

Today represented by the gallery Art and Heart and present on the major online art platforms, Emmanuelle Vroelant's works travel far beyond French borders: USA, Australia, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Greece, Italy, England, Saudi Arabia…
