Stone Interior Paintings

The entire surface of the canvas is covered with crumpled plant fibres, glued down to give the background a fibrous, organic texture close to handmade paper or woven bark. In the upp...

The Elegance of Trees in Winter raises up tree silhouettes drawn in a fine, nervous black line, rising in a dense cluster at the centre of the canvas. Their branches scratch at a shi...

Nostalgia envelops a large square in pastel tones — cream, blue-grey, muted gold, a few touches of coral. A cloud-like mass occupies the centre of the canvas, as though suspended, w...

The long horizontal band format unfolds a palette of milky whites and blues, punctuated on the left by a few touches of yellow and soft green, and further to the right by delicate vi...

Abstract painting, large, acrylique, linen canvas, 2020. Chinese Mythology sets a vertical format ablaze, saturated with red and orange as though incandescent from within. A sinuous form in vivid turquoise blue, born of oxidation, winds from top to bottom of the canvas, moving between passages of black and brown that evoke, without naming it, the elongated silhouette of a dragon. The deep red of the ground and the vibrant turquoise of this trail resonate against each other, setting the warmth of memory against the mineral coolness of the chemical reaction. “A travel memory, the need to paint in red... The red made me think of the oxidised bronze dragons you see in the temples of Southeast Asia.” Emmanuelle Vroelant...

Faces emerge gently from a pale, cracked ground, as if surfacing out of a mist or a shared memory. None is given an age or an origin: children, adults, and elderly people stand side ...

A World Tipping Over sets two clearly distinct territories against each other: on the left, a clear, vaporous space, almost empty, in off-white and blue-grey; on the right, an imposing, rough mass, anthracite grey and brown, where the collage of Laotian paper creates a dense relief, almost a rock face or a piece of bark. Between the two, at the boundary, a thin dark silhouette barely stands out, tiny against this mass that seems ready to topple onto it. In the lower left, a murkier zone, streaked with red and beige, seems to spill out beyond the frame. The art paper, thick and grainy, gives the whole composition a raw, almost tactile materiality. A World Tipping Over is born of a shock — that of a tragic news event, evoked without flinching by Emmanuelle Vroelant...

abstract painting acrylic on linen canvas 100x120cm 2020 The whole painting unfolds in broad horizontal bands, within a tight range of greys, whites, and pale blues. Light seems to run across a liquid surface, at times bright and shimmering at the centre, at times muted by darker, almost black passages that streak the canvas like traces of foam. At the lower right, a dark silhouette and its vertical reflection break the softness of the whole: the only recognisable form within an otherwise abstract expanse. This silhouette is not incidental: Emmanuelle Vroelant...

Turquoise unfolds, in a vertical format, a range of deep blues darkening almost to black at the edges, the better to let a white and turquoise light burst forth at its heart with an ...

Two globes overlap at the centre of an earthy, finely cracked ground, criss-crossed with linear fissures radiating out like dried veins: one, silvery and milky, its surface speckled ...
