Exposition du Lavoir Vasserot - Intimités - MOREAU Isabelle
From 06/03/2025 to 12/03/2025
The memory of the workshop, right next to my bedroom, which smells of turpentine.
In the morning, I walk in, my feet chill on the tiled floor.
The light sun shines through the glass roof, and we enter an Alibaba cave of a thousand colours.
colors.
And if I go back over my memory, I've seen a thousand bodies and a thousand
faces. Isabelle Moreau paints those she loves, and paints herself, too, always in the quest
to capture what it means to be human. She likes to paint what she knows. From
photo, from a model, but also from her imagination, she explores bodies and faces.
You'll find men and women who may look alike, but who are never quite the same.
never quite the same. She paints her models with fidelity: she's true to what they are, but also to what they're like.
but also to what she perceives of them in everyday life.
Color! Ah, what color! With a sharp eye, she'll be able to tell you that this red isn't quite
red. She can explain at length all the mixtures she's made in her palette,
to make this part of the hair so flamboyant.
But don't think that what you have before you is a finished work. It never
ever be. I believe that beyond the colors, the models and his instinctive bias, what most characterizes
her work is its incompleteness. The works of Isabelle Moreau, Chaton and my mother will never be finished.
ma maman will never be finished, but ready to stand the test of time.
Every brushstroke is important, and nothing is placed on canvas at random. It's not about
to analyze her work, but to know that behind every color, every line, every frame
frame, there's the hand of an artist working with precision. These faces and bodies
belong to her story as a woman, her story as a painter.
This is the work of an artist sensitive to those around her, to details, to aesthetics, to colors and their possibilities.
