Without
introduction, without any preconceived ideas, Sylvie instinctively
creates an image. Spontaneously, she follows the preceding
movement
and applies it. Unconsciously, Sylvie knows and doesn’t question herself
too much. What you see is the result of an artistic progression expanding
almost 15 years.
At first glance there seems to be order in her work. Geometric forms are indeed
aligned; they position and structure themselves,
but it’s better to receive the motion, the impulsiveness of a thrown lacquer
at the top of the image or of a fine line winding its way down a long
rectangle, well secured at the bottom of the painting. I cannot disassociate
the part of me that organizes, disciplines, takes a position…at the same
time there is this side of my personality that moves, splashes, acts casually
without thinking too much of the consequences.
Sylvie’s vision of objects, animals, people, even of daily events, translates
artistically into entirely non-figurative images. She was inspired
by Paul Klee as a young student, his subtlety, colours, his nuances, and the
randomness of his mixes. Kandisky, Miro fascinated her with their approach of
forms in space. |
