Dominique Gais
Dominique Gais is a painter with a travelling soul, for a long time her painting equipment followed her everywhere according to the needs of the building sites and projects. Today, lighter, she moves around, the camera at hand, ready to capture the beauty of this world. The infinite variations of nature are the source of his inspiration and the support of his creation. And like nature sometimes, its figuration is at the limit of abstraction.
It is in the studio that photographic fragments and pictorial touches merge and merge. There she builds new spaces on canvas and paper, playing with perspectives, proportions and materials, in a constant comings and goings between reality and imagination. The immediacy of photography associated with the timelessness of the painter's gesture enriches his creation with a fertile tension.
Dominique is an artist who strives to compose her paintings with a pictorial quality that is equalled only by her attachment to representing complex textures. In this series, her paintings are organized around a concept where an image is previously affixed to her canvas. Then, she began a painting process that allowed her to eliminate the difference between the image and the painted surface. Depending on his works and with hindsight, we have the feeling of observing landscapes and the next moment we see something completely different. The gaze comes to play tricks on us and seeks familiar forms to cling to a more concrete, more tangible subject. An atypical artistic approach and a long-term vision of painting for this artist who is committed above all to the path of expression before thinking about the commercial path. In other words, a rare and passionate artist.

Arborescences
arborescences est une nouvelle rubrique que j'ai crée sur mon site perso dominiquegais.com. Je me permet de la partager avec vous car ce sont des œuvres réalisées entre 2016 et 2017 que je ne posterai pas sur ma galerie toutes ces pièces sont vendues, et j'ai choisi de ne montrer sur Art majeur que mes dernières créations au fur et à mesure. Bonne visite à vous.
Et bonne création à vous dans ces temps de confinement, rien de tel que l'évasion par l'art.
Amicalement Dominique Gais

Journées du patrimoine, visitez l'exposition Fragments de Mondes
Chapelle Peipin à Sisteron
Dominique Gais, issue du monde du trompe l’œil est une grande voyageuse. Des photos, des fragments divers viennent peupler ses toiles créant ainsi un monde entre figuration et abstraction. Le réel et l'imaginaire se mêlent, les repères s'estompent. **www.dominiquegais.com*
Catherine Dedieu Lugat s'intéresse aux détails du quotidien qu'elle transforme par son oeil aguerri en compositions graphiques, organiques ou abstraites fortes et déroutantes. Des images sans retouche, tirées ensuite sur papier Arches, textiles ou aluminium. **www.cd-elle.fr**
Habituées toutes deux aux expositions personnelles ou collectives dans des lieux informels ou insolites, elles ont imaginé cette exposition comme un parcours artistique sur une Nature ludique et initiatique. La rencontre de deux univers aux étonnantes similitudes et aux passionnantes différences qui résonnent dans la nef de la Chapelle de Peipin.
