Description
Un long format panoramique étire la toile comme une bande de dune vue de très près. La matière, acrylique et poudre de marbre, y prend une texture sableuse, grattée, presque friable, dans une palette de blancs crayeux, de beiges et d'ocres dorés.
Quelques éclats de collage, plus saturés, ponctuent la surface, tandis que de petits galets gris-bleu s'agglutinent çà et là, en amas discrets vers le haut et sur les bords. Au centre gauche, une poignée de traits noirs verticaux, presque graphiques, se détachent nettement — les seules marques franchement dessinées d'une toile par ailleurs tout en matière.
Peinte en mars 2024, Sable d'enfance puise dans un souvenir précis que je raconte avec tendresse : le souvenir de ma joie d'enfant quand j'arrivais sur la plage en sachant que j'allais pouvoir rouler sur les dunes. J'inventais des mini-paysages et j'aimais beaucoup regarder les grains de mica au soleil. Les éclats dorés du collage, semés dans la matière comme autant de paillettes, semblent répondre directement à ce mica scintillant — la toile ne représente pas une plage, elle en restitue le grain, l'éblouissement, la texture sous les doigts.
Enfant, quand on a joué dans du sable en s'imaginant des univers, on est très surpris à l'âge adulte de voir à quel point les creux et les bosses sont petits. C'est la liberté de l'imaginaire des enfants. Cette même échelle infime innerve la composition : galets, traits noirs et reliefs de matière n'occupent jamais qu'une petite portion de la toile, comme les bosses dérisoires d'une dune d'enfant — mais c'est à cette échelle minuscule que se loge, intact, tout un monde imaginé.
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…
