"A premire vue, les oeuvres de Julie
Lasne semblent figuratives mais leur contenu se situe dans un ailleurs
indescriptible. Ce sont des rŽverbŽrations parcourues de stridences. (...) terre battue de la peau marquŽe
par les intempŽries sinon les ravages de la luciditŽ. Dans les sillons de l' Etre s'inscrivent
d'Žtranges rŽflexions, entre la p‰leur et la lumire. Ce qui demeure aprs avoir dŽchirŽ les cris
de l'‰me: la ferveur. La notion du temps renvoie ˆ la
mŽmorisation ou plut™t ˆ une durŽe interminable - d'o ces glissements et
accŽlŽrations, cette souplesse et cette crispation. Rythmes scandŽs par leurs
Žchos, rŽvŽlateurs d'une certaine impuissance qui trouve son origine dans la
perception continuelle de la fatalitŽ de la mort. Oeuvres d'urgence...c™toyer le dire pour ne
pas Žtouffer,... De cette dŽtermination, de ce dŽsir et/ou
besoin naissent des crŽations qui toutes (nous) parlent de (notre) vulnŽrabilitŽ
- avec la puissance du savoir." Gand, Madeleine Van Oudenhove A.I.C.A. DEPART V I/ LEAVING VI
All my artworks are painted only with my
hand , not with paintbrushs or either, because I need to feel also physically
the emotions, to feel the canvas or the paper to be more precise and
true in what I put in my paintings. It's painting but in an other way ,
I find by this way a sensation near clay sculpture. I use for that a
mixed technique with oil, wax, oil and acrylic paintings, with crashed stones
and so one and the effects depend on how I use this mix, like that I can get
some "volumes" or transparences. About my inspiration, everything surrounding
me touch me, news on TV, especially starvation, poverty in the streets,
tramps, and all the human soul's problems (questions on our presence on eart,
our aim here, death, illness, ...). Especially on DEPART V (it belongs to a
serie on this subject), I always, as a lot of us, ask myself about presence
and absence concerning me / you and the persons surrounding me / you and
especially on the moment where you leave here to go elsewhere when you're
dying, and during this short time you're "between". It's that I try
to express by this serie "DEPART". This was a question I ask myself
from longtime and recently because a lot of my family's members died. I try to paint what I fell, what I see or
thought see at this time. Every painting from this serie is different,
because probably it's never the same thing everybody being different and
unique. I try by this way to understand, and perhaps to try to
"catch" , to hope to "see" a kind of answer in this short
space time "Between" (here and somewhere) before they close
definitively their eyes An answer on why we're living one second before and
not one second after, the difference is just one strange second. |
