Michèle Guillot est une peintre française contemporaine dont l'art est une exploration des émotions à travers la couleur dans des formes abstraites. Forte de plus de deux décennies d'expérience en peinture, le parcours de Guillot a commencé en tant qu'artiste autodidacte avant d'affiner ses compétences grâce à des cours de dessin à l'Ecole Supérieure d'Art et Design (ESAD) de Grenoble.
L'acrylique est le médium principal de Michèle Guillot en raison de sa fluidité, qui lui permet de s'exprimer librement sur la toile. Elle utilise une variété d'outils et de techniques, notamment des pinceaux, des spatules, des éponges et même ses mains, pour créer des compositions dynamiques qui équilibrent la spontanéité et l'intégrité structurelle. Son processus artistique est guidé par l'intuition, les impressions et les visions intérieures, ce qui donne lieu à des œuvres empreintes d'un sentiment de surprise et d'exploration. Parallèlement à la peinture acrylique, elle s'est remise à la peinture à l'huile en 2024.
Les influences de Michèle Guillot s'étendent à un large éventail de sommités artistiques, dont Klimt, Kandinsky, Chagall et De Kooning, entre autres. Sa peinture est le reflet de ses émotions profondes, de son imagination et de sa culture personnelle, s'inspirant des couleurs, des formes et des mouvements du monde naturel. En tant que peintre coloriste, Michèle Guillot se délecte des possibilités créatives infinies offertes par la texture acrylique et les techniques mixtes, embrassant l'inattendu et l'incomplet comme des aspects à part entière de son expression artistique.

"MICHELE GUILLOT : PAINTING THE INVISIBLE AND POETIC AESTHETICS"
“Abstract painting isn’t merely about freeing forms and colors but represents a subtle alchemy between freedom and constraint.”
1- Art at the Threshold of Spirit and Gesture
Michèle Guillot stands as a distinctive voice in contemporary French painting, shaping a visual language that combines lyrical and poetic abstraction, minimalist aesthetics. Her work is not reduced to formal experimentation; it becomes a site of emotional resonance and spiritual quest. Guillot explores the nuances of color, form, and space, creating artworks that evoke both the intimate pulse of the soul and the expansive rhythms of nature. Driven by intuition and reflective solitude, her art serves as a gateway to interior landscapes and an imaginary dynamic. Her artistic journey began in adolescence, sparked by a deep, inexpressible desire to create. Initially translating this urge through figurative drawing and writing, she gradually found her way into abstraction. Although she studied drawing at the Grenoble School of Fine Arts and took online courses, her trajectory is largely self-guided. This autonomy fostered a personal and fluid approach, where formal technique and expressive freedom continually interact. Guillot’s fascination with mythology, esoteric studies, philosophy, and symbolic systems further enriches her practice, allowing her paintings to function as both visual compositions and meditative supports. What sets her work apart is the tension she orchestrates between spontaneity and structure. Her process embodies an intricate dance between instinctive gestures and disciplined composition. To Guillot, abstract painting becomes a dialectic between liberation and constraint. Pigment, form, and brushstroke coalesce in spaces that resist literal meaning, offering instead moments of sensory clarity and emotional suggestion. This duality—freedom versus constraint—emerges as a central axis in her evolving body of work.
2- Michèle Guillot: From Classic Beginnings to Creative Impulse
The choice to paint came not from a formal decision, but as a revelation—a visceral impulse that emerged twenty years ago, growing steadily into a profound mode of self-expression. Guillot’s creative process was initially a solitary exploration, deeply personal. It wasn’t until she stepped into the studios of practicing contemporary artists that her passion truly crystallized. The sight of color-laden jars, raw canvases, and the presence of artistic energy ignited something dormant within her. That moment proved pivotal, transforming latent desire into a powerful momentum. What followed was a period of prolific creation. Guillot found herself producing dozens of works in a sustained rhythm, with no signs of slowing down. Her engagement with art became more than a passion—it became a necessity, a movement between internal emotion and external form. This sustained productivity was not driven by deadlines or exhibitions but by an inner call to manifest the invisible, to give shape to transient states of being. The act of painting, for Guillot, carries spiritual and emotional weight, functioning as both reflection and release. Her artistic influences reveal the layers within her practice. Figures like Chagall, Kandinsky, Klimt, Redon, and Moreau—painters who also explored symbolism, mysticism, and emotional abstraction—echo through her compositions. She also draws strength from modern colorists and surrealists such as Dalí. This lineage of inspiration contributes to her uniquely hybrid style, where lyricism and restraint, chaos and serenity, exist in careful dialogue. These visual references are not imitated, but internalized, shaping her own voice within the broader conversation of abstract art.
3- Michèle Guillot: Emotions in Color, Silence in Form
Guillot’s work is deeply rooted in an intuitive understanding of color and its emotional possibilities. Violet, orange, and blue frequently emerge in her compositions, not just as aesthetic choices, but as carriers of mood, sensation, and symbolic charge. Her status as a colorist is inseparable from her poetic vision—each hue selected not only for its visual impact but also for its ability to mirror the soul’s movement. Nature often inspires her, resulting in semi-figurative abstractions that hint at organic shapes, shifting skies, and fluid landscapes. The themes she explores are both personal and universal: transcendence, lightness, mystery, and journeys. In many of her paintings, upward motion dominates—arabesques, vertical lines, and ethereal curves suggest flight, elevation, or spiritual rising. Works like Souffle and Vieille Âme illustrate the contrast between density and lightness, grounding and escape. The push and pull between gravity and levity becomes a metaphor for human experience—how we balance weight and wonder, body and spirit. This nuanced balance reveals a unique emotional intelligence embedded within her aesthetic. Her integration of literature into visual practice is particularly notable. The painting Élévation, inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s poem of the same name, holds personal significance. Created with palette knives and a broad brush, the piece begins in turbulence and gradually ascends into calm, sky-like blues. This visual ascent echoes the poem’s metaphysical longing and speaks directly to Guillot’s core artistic philosophy: art as ascension, as transformation through gesture. Other works, such as her Haïkus series, reflect brevity and subtlety, capturing fleeting emotional states with a near-silent intensity. Guillot’s paintings do not shout—they invite, linger, and resonate in quiet but lasting ways.
4- Michèle Guillot: Her Secret Workshop and Rituals of Creation
Her creative “sanctuary” is a small, home-based workshop designed to nourish focus and emotional presence. Morning is her preferred time to work—an hour when the world still murmurs in quiet tones, allowing her inner rhythms to surface unimpeded. Sometimes accompanied by atmospheric music (like Vangelis), her process unfolds like a ritual: deliberate, sensitive, and into solitude. This space, though modest in size, is expansive in function. It is where intuition meets material, where insights are granted shape through pigment and movement. Guillot’s approach to media is as exploratory as her thematic work. Acrylics were her first love, drawn to their fluid nature and water based transparency. She enjoys combining different techniques—using palette knives, spatulas, pouring methods, and Chinese ink drips—to create texture and atmosphere. The fast-drying quality of acrylics allows immediacy, which she balances with the slower, richer possibilities of oil. Her return to oil painting in 2024 marked a significant shift, enabling longer engagement with each piece. Techniques like glazing, impasto, and even finger painting further enhance her tactile connection to the canvas. Among her aspirations is the desire for a solo exhibition—a space entirely devoted to her way and vision. While her work has already been exhibited nationally and internationally, and has garnered awards and critical attention, Guillot wishes and hopes for a more intimate engagement with viewers. She hopes her paintings will not only be displayed but also chosen to inhabit personal and public spaces, offering aesthetic and emotional resonance to those who live with them. In a world often rushed and distracted, her work seeks to offer calm, an invitation to dream and meditate, and an imaginary dialogue between viewer and artist. "

GALLERIA 360 FLORENCE
L’anno si chiude alla Galleria360 di Firenze con la mostra “Xmas-How”: opere di Midori McCabe, Jana Kreft, Michele Guillot, Michèle Vert-Nibet e D.W.Whitfield
Firenze, 26 novembre 2024 – La Galleria360 di Firenze è lieta di annunciare l’apertura della mostra dedicata agli artisti contemporanei Midori McCabe e Jana Kreft, che si terrà il 6 dicembre 2024 alle ore 19:30. Questa esposizione rappresenta un’occasione unica per immergersi nelle opere di due artiste che, sebbene con stili distinti, condividono una profonda sensibilità artistica e un’abilità nel trasmettere emozioni attraverso le loro creazioni.
Midori McCabe è un’artista di origini giapponesi, nota per le sue opere che combinano l’estetica tradizionale orientale con influenze moderne. La sua arte è caratterizzata da una delicata interazione tra forme naturali e elementi astratti, creando un dialogo visivo che invita lo spettatore a riflettere sulla bellezza effimera della natura e sull’interconnessione tra l’uomo e l’ambiente. Le sue tecniche miste, che includono l’uso di inchiostri, acquerelli e materiali naturali, danno vita a composizioni che evocano serenità e introspezione.
Jana Kreft, d’altro canto, è un’artista tedesca la cui opera si distingue per un’esplorazione audace dei colori e delle forme. Con una formazione che spazia dalla pittura alla scultura, Kreft sperimenta continuamente con nuovi media, creando opere vibranti e dinamiche che sfidano le convenzioni artistiche tradizionali. Le sue creazioni sono un caleidoscopio di emozioni, capaci di catturare l’energia del momento e di trasportare lo spettatore in un viaggio sensoriale unico.
Michele Guillot è un’artista francese il cui lavoro è noto per la sua abilità nel combinare tecniche tradizionali e contemporanee. Le sue opere, che spaziano dalla pittura alla grafica, esplorano tematiche esistenziali e sociali, con un approccio che mescola realismo e astrazione. Guillot riesce a creare immagini potenti che stimolano la riflessione e il dialogo. 5 OPERE
CONCERT
D.W.Whitfield è un artista britannico specializzato in scultura e installazioni. Il suo lavoro si concentra su temi di identità, memoria e percezione, utilizzando materiali vari e innovativi per costruire opere che sono tanto fisicamente imponenti quanto concettualmente profonde. Whitfield invita gli spettatori a interagire con le sue creazioni, offrendo un’esperienza artistica immersiva e coinvolgente.
Michèle Vert-Nibet è un’artista francese rinomata per la sua capacità di fondere elementi di realismo e astrazione nelle sue opere. Con una profonda sensibilità per le tematiche sociali e ambientali, Vert-Nibet utilizza una varietà di tecniche pittoriche e grafiche per creare immagini potenti che stimolano la riflessione. Le sue opere sono caratterizzate da una forte emotività e un’estetica raffinata che invita il pubblico a un dialogo interiore.
La mostra, curata da Angela Fagu, si propone di mettere in luce il contrasto e la complementarità tra le opere dei cinque artisti, provenienti da background culturali e artistici diversi, ma capaci di dialogare attraverso le loro opere, creando un ponte visivo che unisce Oriente e Occidente, tradizione e innovazione.
La serata inaugurale vedrà la partecipazione del critico e storico dell’arte Daniele Franchi, che presenterà i lavori in galleria e condividerà con il pubblico le storie e le ispirazioni dietro le loro opere.
Sarà un’opportunità preziosa per incontrare e scoprire in prima persona il processo creativo che dà vita a queste opere contemporanee.
L’evento includerà anche un rinfresco e una performance musicale dal vivo, che contribuirà a creare un’atmosfera accogliente e stimolante. La Galleria360 si conferma così un luogo di incontro e di scambio culturale, dove l’arte contemporanea trova un palcoscenico ideale per esprimersi e per interagire con il pubblico.
La mostra sarà aperta al pubblico fino al 31 dicembre 2024, con ingresso gratuito.
