Red fruit juice (2020) Painting by Leila Assmann

As a child, and even as a young adult, the game consisted in choosing an object of experience:
an armchair, a lamp, a flower, a tree, a ray of light ... and to slip into the physical sensation of it as quickly and as intensely as possible. To manage to marry from the inside each curvature, angle, roundness, material, density, lightness, volume, dull or melodious color, vibrant, sharp or felted luminosity, cold or hot odor, forced to simplify as much as possible his personal state of being to the world in order to experience a multitude of new feelings.

These back and forth from one state to another would they be the source of Leila's intuitive, refined and minimalist work, which exploits the harmony of the arbitrary, the balance of disorder while releasing the essential ?

The artist "seeks to empty, to let go of any preconceived idea and to trust the joy of creating in the present moment."

The vibrational energy of the line, sometimes fine, sometimes thick, translates a dynamic gesture and sometimes more restrained. The palette is mainly reduced to three bright colors and those achromatic black and white, the latter obtained by the support left blank. A schematic style imbued with Japanese aesthetics coexisting with a childlike spirit that never ceases to play between order and disorder, full and empty, presence and absence, dynamic and static, real and myth .
