Description

acrylic, marble powder, collage, sand on linen, 80 x 80 cm

I start from an observation shared by many: people feel weighed down, anxious about the news of what is happening in the world.

Faced with this weight, I felt a great need for fantasy, for lightness, for something that suggests imaginary themes, without gravity, strange, whimsical, non-essential desires — and that is exactly what unfolds on the canvas.

A slender silhouette, almost a totem, occupies the centre: a grey-blue body with a rough, mineral texture, topped by a round head, smooth and pale like a soap bubble.

All around, everything is a play of materials and breaks: a bright red flat area biting into the shoulder, dotted black shards streaking the outline, a more graphic black and white pattern dressing the lower body like a motley costume, and a touch of bold orange finishing the silhouette at ground level.

On the right, a large disc of crumpled paper, beige and fibrous, floats like a ball, while a few blue-grey shards scattered across the white background add a note of floating fantasy.

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…
