AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Familiar Surrealities

The relationship that Chantal ROUX maintains with the movements of people, of animals, and of everyday objects is of the dreamlike-immersive kind, with attention that is at once drifting and sharp, and with a strangeness of closeness. There is in her writings as in her painting a dimension of the “fantastic” all the stronger for remaining humble, not spectacular and barely suggested, all the denser because this surrealality feeds on the close contact with reality.

This global, immediate, benevolent, non-analytic feeling for beings and things of life is a dough that becomes painting. It is not the object of painting; it is its very material.

It is a painting that does not tell, does not describe, never distances itself from itself to remain always in the sensitive intimacy of a lived experience as a permanent mystery. A painting that is figurative, to be sure, but born from the interior of the gaze to better go beyond it, transcend representation, blossom into a region of gentle poetry, quietly question its own presence in the world.

The work will be sent with the greatest care
