Opening Sunday 15 March from 2 to 7 pm

While painting is a form of covering, Pauline Bazignan's art is paradoxically defined by revelation. The artist plays on the line between presence and absence, appearance and disappearance, creating a mysterious alchemy.

Through circles and fluid shapes, her work explores what lies beyond the visible, inviting a different perception and making the invisible perceptible.

Water and fire are key elements in her process, revealing her creations through destruction or erasure, infusing her works with a sense of lightness and metamorphosis. The artist embraces accident and the unexpected as creative forces, favouring the unpredictable over the predictable result to give birth to works imbued with meaning and mystery.

In her paintings, Pauline Bazignan continues her exploration of a more subtle style of painting, where the image is never imposed but suggested. Through successive layers, scraped or absorbed, she brings out floating forms, as if they were emerging from the surface of a memory. The material seems to work on its own: sometimes fluid, sometimes denser, it reveals tensions between control of the gesture and openness to the unexpected. Nothing is fixed, everything remains in motion.

Her works do not seek to represent a subject: they offer a space, a suspended moment in time, a sensation. A point of balance between what appears and what disappears. Through this interplay of shapes and colours, she invites us to discover what lies beyond the motif and questions the manifestations of a hidden reality.
