Between the flat color and the irregularity of the canvas, where hot and cold are blown brilliantly, between the rigor of a right angle and the generous roundness of a circle, Véronique Bourdon invites us to enter and to survey the interior architecture depicted in his paintings. These latter take root outside the beaten track on the borders of figuration and abstraction, at the precise place where matter is celebrated.
Self-taught, adept of mixed media, the artist collects and assembles various materials, black rings systematically bypass and accompany each colored motif. If the inscription within an abstract painting technique is obvious, the artist manages to free himself from it by not trying to evacuate any form of the sensitive in his relationship to the work. Geometric shapes evolve within a measured and measured industrial universe. A macrocosm that sometimes escapes from abstraction to appear under the assumed features of the figurative.

And then there is the letting go.

Abstraction, as we know, draws its inspiration and measures from nature; here the shapes, lines and lights gradually become familiar. The curves then appear nebulous, distended, a motley face emerges in the center of one of the pieces, on another, it is a striped hand which grips the slats of a blind, then, the contours of the dial of a clock. appear soft, blurry to us. The objects become delirious, projections of an unconscious so often magnified in the practices of the surrealists. The work of Véronique Bourdon is to be grasped as an invitation to travel for which her paintings will be our vessel.
