Description
Acrylic on linen — 100 × 120 cm
No face appears on this canvas. Against a cream, almost white background, tinged with grey-green along the left edge, a vast mass of colour coils around the centre like a whirlwind. Ochres and golden yellows, laid down in grainy layers, fill the top; blacks and midnight blues, scored with white, form its heart; blues and violets spread across the bottom left, oranges and rusts across the bottom right. A flash of turquoise lights up the right-hand edge, while a gap of white light opens on the left. Scraped and superimposed, the paint lets the layers underneath show through.
Here I paint myself through my emotions rather than my features. This is what I wanted to put into it: joy, the possibility of having confidence in myself, but of remaining flexible. Anxiety about time passing too quickly, and about old age…
The circular movement gives shape to this tension. Everything seems to turn, like time slipping away, yet nothing becomes fixed: the outlines remain blurred and the colours slide into one another. The flexibility I wish to keep shows even in the way I paint.
thus offers an inner portrait, in which the joy of living and an awareness of time passing mingle in a single whirlwind of colour.
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…
