Since 1993 her work exhibits regularly in France, Spain, Germany and Belgium. ARTISTIC TRAVEL "Feet to the ground, head in the clouds" ... Valerie Blanchard paints what parades and passes in front of their eyes, as others photographed at the mercy of his journeys, pilgrimages, home ... The small squares represent everyday scenes of human beings. On the beach, in bars, block parties, shopping ... a sociological study carried out with images instead of words. After she has taken note and sketches in a notebook that it is always with her, she returns to his studio to capture it with paintings on canvas. Her work is full of bright colors in a style falsely "naive" with a note of irony. The cheerful abundance and relevance of details, authorizing a prolonged reading. Her work looks like a mixture of Afro-Latin American Bolero but with a style that makes her work truly unique. | ||
