Sylvie Lesage born in  Bernay (Normandy) in 1967

 

My work is mostly about the concept of nudity of the body : The body of the artist, the broke apart body, the inner body. The nudity has the intensity of what is to be seen, the intensity of what the eyes seek and will soon see. Naked bodies, the exposure of the feelings. What is this body ? What is this nudity ? What kind of nudity, for what look ?

​

This work also concerns the notion of look : what the artist sees, desappearence of representation, blindness, the invisible... The look of otherone, the look of oneself. Take a look beyond the picture, towards the darkness, the unknown ; come to light and face their verdict.

​

Looks that talk about bodies, nudity, visible, invisible... Looks turned inward, an inside that opposes the unknown, the hidden, so it is required to open the shapes.

This inner body would also appoint an interiority ; move closer the outside man to the inner as if it always try to avoid to be known, a piece of oneself... Interior opposes the notions of intensity, blindness, energy and hazard.

Paper or canvas put vertically on the wall, it's just about an had the hand combat. The gesture is important : add, triturate, scratch, tear apart, superimpose, accumulate diverse materials, more color and all this the quicker possible in order not to lose any emotion. Empty oneself of the energy and to let a track of it is the unique mean to reach this self painting, the painting of "I".
