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.
