Clédia Fourniau, 2023Biography
Clédia Fourniau works on the shapes and materials of her abstract paintings, using colorants, inks and polyurethane resins to pile up gestures and actions.
which form an ultra-bright colored embossing on the space of his canvases, reflecting the body, the studio and the architecture. The image never ceases to make and unmake itself, attempting to convey a sensual confusion, a message without a message, a form of mysticism.
Clédia Fourniau thus addresses the processual and performative dimension of abstract painting, and questions the conditions of perception and reception of an image, involving the body - that of the artist and that of the visitor, in its entirety.
