Imperfect Circles at the Art-Port Corner of Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport

IMPERFECT CIRCLES Concentric Marks by Sylvie Renault OLBIA COSTA SMERALDA AIRPORT - A R T - P O R T CORNER PRESS RELEASE OLBIA, 13 July 2013 – Geasar presents at the Art-Port Corner of Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport the 25th contemporary art exhibition, featuring a solo show by artist Sylvie Renault. In her work, the artist has explored the concept of perfection in imperfection and, through seven works displayed on the wall of Karafood, distills an investigation into the concentric mark, which she emphasizes with layers of color, filling the voids and giving them new form. Renault lives and works in Rome and has chosen to exhibit in Sardinia as well the work already shown in galleries in Rome and New York. But this artist’s creativity does not end with painting: Renault also pursues an intensive parallel practice in planning and design, always connected to installations and communication. Inspired by a deep sensitivity to social changes, to the flaws of human complexity and to the emotional turmoil that follows, she is skilled at creating an effect of movement on canvas, including in her pictorial narrative. The solo exhibition in Olbia embodies a return to imperfection, even in the physical arrangement of the display: the paintings are positioned irregularly precisely to emphasize the performative experience that the artist cannot contain, finding in every intervention and situation an opportunity to express complete emotional and artistic involvement. Along the edges of her unframed works, she writes phrases taken from the songs she listens to while creating them, which symbolically frame the work, emphasizing its strong conceptual foundation.

by Sylvie Renault | 13 Nov 2012 | Exhibitions, News

On Saturday 17 November, “La Parola al Colore” opens at Coronari 111 ArtGallery in Rome, at Via dei Coronari, 111. Curated by Beppe Palomba for the Accademia della Bussola, the exhibition features 16 artists engaging with the theme of colour, from the pared-down rigour of black and white to the most vibrant chromatic expression, pouring the entire spectrum of the palette into their works to perform, once again, the miracle of Art. The works thus range from photographic images to Digital Art, from oil paintings to mixed-media techniques, by artists such as Domenico Aquilino, Valeria Ballestrazzi, Elena Binder, Raffaela Boffelli, Adolfo Candreva, Germana Di Paolo, Marisa Gaddi, Elettra La Marca, Lamberto Melina, Sylvie Renault, Patrizia Rubicondi, Chiara Scala, Egidio Scardamaglia, Daniele Stefano, Valerio Tirapani, and Marcello Ursomando, all engaging with the world of Colour. Figurative and informal works, carefully selected to present the various ways of expressing sensibilities and techniques to give “Colour a voice”. The exhibition will remain open from 11:30 to 13:30 and from 15:30 to 19:00 every day except Sunday and Monday morning until 25 November. Vernissage on Saturday 17 November at 17:30.

My painting soundtracks

by Sylvie Renault | 20 Feb 2012 | Me, News

Music influences my painting more than anything else. Sometimes it simply keeps me company between brushstrokes; other times it is an essential condition for the painting to develop. So every time I pick up my brush, I put on the same music again, listen to the same songs, tied to the emotions I am feeling or would like to bring out through that painting. The notes reach the depths of the soul, blend with the color, and settle onto the canvas. So, to help you understand this side of me too, I thought I would create a new section: Painting Soundtrack . Here you will find, alongside the different paintings, the different soundtracks that inspired them, with snippets of phrases and excerpts from lyrics that capture the character of each painting best of all. Sometimes it is just one song, sometimes full-fledged playlists. Give it a try! It was a wonderful experiment for me too! Standing in front of the finished painting, listening again to and reading the emotions associated with it. I hope you like the idea... and above all that it tells you a little more about me.
