Le foulard rose n°3, 2022

Sandrine Rondard  

In the series Le foulard rose, Sandrine Rondard explores the expressive relationship between the body, movement, and color. A female figure appears immersed in a soft, atmospheric landscape, her gestures animated by the presence of a vivid pink scarf that unfolds across the composition like a living extension of the body.

The scarf becomes both a pictorial and symbolic element: a trace of movement, a ribbon of color that cuts through the muted tones of the surrounding landscape. Through fluid brushwork and layered surfaces, Rondard creates an environment that feels both tangible and dreamlike, where figure and landscape seem to dissolve into one another.

The vibrant pink carries a strong symbolic resonance. For the artist, this color echoes the history of women's rights and feminist visibility, transforming the scarf into a sign of affirmation and presence. The gesture of the figure, animated by the flowing fabric, suggests both vulnerability and strength, as if the body were negotiating its place within the surrounding world.

The vibrant pink contrasts with the earthy greens and browns of the background, generating a tension between intimacy and theatricality. The body appears suspended between grounding and flight, suggesting a moment of transformation or inner release.
The figure's movement through the landscape becomes an exploration of presence, vulnerability, and freedom, inviting the viewer into a contemplative and emotionally charged pictorial world.
