The exhibition \u201cDe\u0301border la toile\u201c (Overflow the canvas) looks at how the principles and intuitions that shaped the work of the artist Olivier Debre\u0301 (1920-1999) are used today. For him, the visual elements that form the canvas reflect the sensations experienced during its creation. This quest for expressiveness led him to expand his pictorial gesture and broaden his colour range, a process which is reflected in the exhibition through ten or so of his previously unseen canvases presented in conjunction with the works of five contemporary artists. <\/p>\n
The five artists grouped in this exhibition, who present their work alongside that of Olivier Debre\u0301, represent these new hybrid pictorial paths that question more than ever before the relationship of the work to space and the visitor\u2019s perceptions. They remind us of the painter\u2019s desire to infuse the canvas with the emotions felt in front of the landscape during the creative process so that the viewer can in turn become imbued with it. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt quickly became clear to me that it was not so much the object observed but the sensation produced by this object that was important, and this sensation was, ultimately, the reality that had to be painted.\u201d1<\/p>\n
As if reflecting this principle, Charlotte Denamur, Ann Veronica Janssens, Rene\u0301e Levi, Flora Moscovici and Thu Van Tran explore the properties of the material, magnifying it in the visitor\u2019s physical experience, while continuing to play on the mysterious, impalpable principle of appearance and colourful illumination.<\/p>\n
