Sylvie Renault
“Imperfect circles”
From October 6 to 20, 2013
Opening Sunday, October 6 at 7:00 p.m.
On Sunday, October 6 at 7:00 p.m., at Ecos Gallery (Via Giulia, 81/A), Sylvie Renault will exhibit a selection of her paintings in an exhibition entitled “Imperfect Circles”.
In her work, previously presented in New York, the artist has explored the concept of perfection in imperfection and distills an investigation of the concentric mark, which she emphasizes with layers of color, filling the voids and giving them new form. An undertaking that, from an intellectual standpoint, recalls the process of seeking the “familiar in the unfamiliar” so dear to David Lynch in his celebrated films.
«With a powerful visual and, above all, emotional impact, - writes Maria Rosaria Fantin in her critical essay - these images, veritable apparitions, supported by vibrant, rich colors, prompt introspection, a search for the self. Drawn into the filled spaces and the voids, our gaze slips, losing itself in the countless transformations: folds of the soul, shifting changes of being.»
«Falling in love with my circles – writes the artist Sylvie Renault - will make you fall in love with yourselves/Because I tell everyone's story./All of us, perfectly imperfect.»
On the occasion of the opening of Sylvie Renault’s “Imperfect Circles”, Ecos Gallery, in collaboration with Officine Domus, presents “Scusi…ma qui che c’era prima?”, a song-theatre performance written and performed by Emiliano Ottaviani. Accompanied by Simone Salerni on bassoon, the Roman singer-actor takes the contrast between past and present as his starting point to recount, “in his own words and songs”, the affectations and vices of our times.
