Marie-Noëlle Gagnan | Artistic approach

Marie-Noëlle Gagnan is captivated by the depth of the self. The themes she captures are about the mysteries of the soul, about light and darkness; they rest upon a civilization, rich elements of silent stories that stir up emotions. Through her dreamlike canvasses, both symbolic and expressionistic, she shares a corner of her soul, hoping to reach a corner of yours.
For each and every of her paintings, the artist starts by getting acclimated to her canvas. One stroke leads to another and, little by little, she confides in her canvas. Soon, a dialogue begins: secrets are shared from both sides and the feeling of solitude vanishes. The painting, alive, responds to the artist, suggests ideas. From time to time, these ideas are surprising, yet the exchange stays dynamic. The artist is not alone anymore, and her passion for pictorial discourse reveals its very depth. M-N G. has always had a strong preference for fauvism and expressionism. The contrast between pure and complementary colours gives birth to a powerful expression. Subtler notes suggest a mystery both complex and inaccessible.
