Béatrice Bescond
"Arbor II", Vaguely Visible Blue Yellow Violet Pink, Black White Acylic Painting

2002

About the Item

The tree, a universal and archetypal symbol, resides in the memory of all cultures. Like man, it stands tall between earth and sky, rooted firmly in the ground and driven by a desire to grow and flourish. Here, the tree is a testament to time, bearing its marks on its twisted trunk. The graphic and rhythmic strokes of the painting take us deep into the heart of the vegetal matter, where surface fragmentation gives form and meaning to invisible movements, revealing the energy and processes of life. Pseudo-letters appear in a horizontal band, echoing the central circle, without any clear message. The writing, a cultural memory, reminds us of our necessary dialogue with nature. Visually, it flattens the space and at the center of the circle, amidst the black and white, iridescent blues, yellows, soft violets, and pinks suggest the diffraction of light. Titled "Arbor II", this original paiting is framed with wooden slats all around. Béatrice Bescond is a French artist. Mostly influenced by Pavel Filonov, Henri Michaux and François Rouan, and inspired by Gaston Bachelard, Carl Gustav Jung and mythology, she likes to question founding myths and archetypal figures in a joint process of figuration and disfiguration.
