Etrange rencontre,entre ciel et terre... Painting by Catherine Cabé (CAT.)

She is Parisian by birth, she has always liked to scribble, to draw.
For Mother's Day, her mom always had her drawing, her painting with flowers of course.
Good grades in drawing at school, at least there!!
Time passed and one day, she fell ill, unable to walk for a while, she drew, borrowed gouache from her children.
Then we gave him a gift, a box of oil paints.........
She embarked on this adventure around 1996, without a net (and she can tell you that for her first oil painting, she had as much Aubusson green on her hands as on the sheet! She still has this drawing)
But, as she went on, she found that her painting was...flat, without relief...
Didn't understand why!
So, she went to see a painter, a grandpa and submitted her questions to him.
Quite simply, this one said " my cocotte, put some shadows"...............
And miracle, the painting takes on relief, the scenes of depth.
By adding a little perspective everything changes ........
Since then, she has been playing with colors.
She touched everything, dry pastel, but it makes dust and you have to frame!!
bold, watercolor;
Ah there you have to take lessons, and then she has a little heavy hand with watercolor and unlike oil, there is no room for error, she finds herself more in the colors the fades of the oil .
Being a little rebellious, she doesn't want to take lessons.
So she gropes forward at her own pace without violence or aggression or intrusion into her paw (it seems that this can already be seen in her work!)
According to his moods, his pains, his crushes, the tones change, the scenes vary...
She only paints what she likes, it makes her feel good, she is finally happy with painting!
She goes fast and likes it, but sometimes she comes back to a canvas if needed, or if she wants something else!
Her only concern is space, large formats, she likes it...
Sometimes, a subject runs through his head, thinks about it....rethinks. And he happens to get up at night to put on the canvas this subject which prevents him from sleeping.......< br /> She advances with animals characters portraits, for the abstract, has trouble, surely too realistic in the soul...
She's been smearing for almost 20 years, despite moments of blank canvases (why? she doesn't know) between exhibitions. audience award, silver award, Cat. follow his path! but the road is still long...hopefully..............
