La mystérieuse captive, image 4, Le messager de l'espoir. (2020) Drawing by Véronique Lorimier

Véronique Lorimier is a French artist born in 1959.

Since 2012, her artistic work consists almost exclusively of short, enigmatic comics from her dreamlike universe. She draws, mainly with colored pencil on paper, small phantasmatic scenes that draw their origin from a deep anxiety, from a prolix and invasive imaginative life, but also from a hope affecting her imaginary representations.

Véronique Lorimier obeys an incoercible spiritual and psychic movement. Her plastic creation takes place in the movement of Outsider Art, singular art or naive art.

His art borrows from the tradition of the narrative in images. His drawings are based on popular iconography, illuminated tales such as the "Miraj Name or the journey of the Prophet" in the tradition of Iran and Central Asia since the Middle Ages. The "Red Book" of C.G. Jung also inspires her works. Véronique Lorimier is inspired by the primitive drawings of Mexican art, where scenes of rural life and fantastic reality from a shamanic culture are told. Each of her drawings is like a hole that she pierces in the crust of her apparent life, to let escape the gases of a dream world.
