Description
abstract " Autumn is coming" glue mortar frame linen 83x54 cm 2
Taller than it is wide, the canvas is divided between a vast sky and a strip of land. In its upper two-thirds, creamy whites and pearl grey light up with patches of lemon and mustard yellow, more numerous on the left, as if the light were entering from the top of the canvas and crossing it diagonally. In the top right, by contrast, a dark mass moves in: a slate grey, bluish in places. In the lower third, the palette suddenly warms: rust, terracotta, burnt sienna and deep brown make up an uneven ground, dotted with a few flashes of golden yellow and orange, like foliage still catching the light. At the very bottom, these tones darken to a blackish brown, especially in the lower right-hand corner. Finally, across the whole surface, the collage and modelling paste create a relief that catches the light and makes every colour vibrate.
At the origin of the painting, there is first of all a sensation. I describe it without verbs, as one jots down an impression on the spot: the movement of the wind, of the clouds, the shifting of the colours… The colours slide into one another. The title, moreover, does not say ‘Autumn’ but ‘Autumn Is Coming’: the canvas does not paint a settled season, it captures the moment when everything shifts.
I experience this shift as a twofold feeling: for me, autumn is a period of transition that is both magnificent and a little melancholy.
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…
