In the world of Véronique Pastor, each painting is an open door to the invisible, an exploration at the crossroads of the sensitive and the spiritual.

 

An expressionist visual artist deeply rooted in a dreamlike approach, the artist transcends conventional forms to achieve a universal language, where matter becomes vibration, and color, a breath of emotion.

Michel Campistron's paintings, where fluidity and matter are systematically opposed with a certain harshness, as well as the dark atmosphere which emerges from them, authorize him to claim membership in the Catalan and Spanish School of Tapies, Millares, Saura or Valdes.

 

His research focuses on the transformations of things and beings in the face of the test of time and injuries.

The inspiration for his current works draws the artist from ancient myths and hidden corners of the human soul.

She feels a deep connection with nature and creates a picturesque dialogue between nature and the psyche.

It is then the pictorial material itself that becomes the object of the aesthetic experience. First, he stubbornly superimposes dozens of layers of paint, tirelessly repeated. Then comes the stage of deconstruction. With a sure gesture, he scrapes, sands, grinds, tears off the material, as if the background that was hidden had to reappear on the surface, not in its entirety but in traces.

A self-taught artist, Virginie Michel studied live models at La Grande Chaumière in Paris. Her favorite theme is the human figure. She uses mixed techniques based on collages.

 

"Painting imposed itself on me as a necessity, almost a therapy; the starting point is often an insignificant image cut out of a magazine... the memory of faces appears as a genealogical search, basically to simply ask the following question: who am I, who are we?"

Mr. and Mrs. Gorgô merge myths and symbols in an expressive surrealism where each line and color become an invitation to dream and introspection.

 

Mr and Mrs Gorgô, Bénédicte Devillers and Michel Gouteux, paint.
