Works by Claire Bourdoncle
Attracted and fascinated by colors from a very young age, they accompanied the artist from kindergarten to high school where she took the optional art class. Music having been part of her education, she finally decided to study musicology. During her career as a teacher of music and choral singing in the national education system, the vibrations of colors continue to captivate her and pictorial expression never ceases to challenge her.
Throughout her career and her successive moves, she discovered watercolor, pastel, oil and acrylic. It is finally towards the latter that she decides to turn. Representing reality is part of her first choices but the discovery of the knife directs her then towards the abstract with this desire to explore the gesture and the color. She tastes the freedom, there is no more intermediary between her and the canvas. She lives fully in the present moment, she no longer tries to do, she does. She is subjugated by the colors, they have the power to animate her. She lets them guide her, she is on a path without knowing where she is going until the moment when something seems to organize itself without her knowledge and surprises her. It's as if her inner landscape had come to rest on the canvas.
