Fournier - Nature sauvage

Carole Fournier | The Radiance of Matter

Painting is for me a dialogue between the brute force of nature and the delicacy of light.
For many years, I have been exploring abstraction and semi-abstraction with a constant quest: to translate on the canvas the power of the elements and to give life to the shiny material I imagine in my mind by adding gold leaf to my works. My work is an alchemical search where every texture comes to life under my fingers.
My approach: a personal alchemy; I compose my own mediums. I use acrylic that I blend with personal mixtures incorporating coffee to give my grounds an organic soul and a singular authenticity.

Inspired by the forces of nature and the vibration of colors, I have the privilege of seeing my work travel. From competitions to exhibitions, my approach has allowed me to win prizes and sell my works in several countries.

I built the composition on a strong contrast: a stormy sky, which I worked in shades of deep blues and turquoises, looms over a land of ochre and gold with dancing reliefs. I used a coating to create a physical presence, and I adorned these reliefs with gold leaf. A small collage completes the work; a small yellow prism, bright as a light in the storm.
