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.
