Exhibition by Emmanuelle Brunet, watercolorist: "I've been sliding gently from figurative to lyrical abstraction or semi-abstract, like slipping into a good bed with the sensation of feeling protected from the outside world and free to dream."
Emmanuelle BRUNET, watercolourist
I slipped gently from figurative painting to lyrical abstraction or semi-abstraction, like slipping into a good bed with the feeling of being protected from the outside world and free to dream.
My artistic practice then became an art of interiority, of the intimate realm, an inner creative journey.
I let myself be guided by the line, like the automatism of spontaneous writing, writing with accents of calligraphy to give life to colored surfaces where shapes and lines intermingle. They are the materialization of my intuitions and improvisations.
Watercolor is my dominant technique, which is transformed into mixed media by the addition of Indian ink and/or hot wax (watercolor batik).
