Description
Acrylic, marble powder, collage, gold leaf on linen — 100 × 80 cm
Cloak and Sword begins with a memory of a darkened cinema. The cinema releases of and make me want to immerse myself again in the swashbuckling novels that enchanted my childhood. I do not try to illustrate these stories, popularised by Alexandre Dumas, literally, but to suggest their spirit: I just wanted to suggest the gentleman decked in gold and in fabrics worn by the road and by adventure...
A broad golden mass, a crumpled gold leaf, dominates the centre — the gold of a costume, or of a coat of arms. Below, a rough expanse of deep blue could be the cloak itself, worn by the road and by adventure. Around it, a cream-coloured form, blade-shaped grey-blue shards and small collaged fragments complete the impression of a composite garment, while brief black strokes evoke, without depicting them, a blade being dodged, a feather in a hat.
Nothing here illustrates a specific novel. I remain true to my habitual gesture: to suggest rather than represent, and to let the material alone carry the memory of a childhood nourished on panache, musketeers and adventure.
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…
