Symposium by Françoise Dugourd-Caput
A delicate and dynamic emergence: With this work, Françoise Dugourd -Caput manages to express a moment that is both mysterious and poetic. Made in oil on canvas with a knife, it presents a play of fluid shapes and imaginary silhouettes, emerging with grace and lightness. The drops of water, small translucent spheres floating on these abstract figures, add an ethereal and fragile dimension to the whole, as if the canvas captured a moment suspended between two worlds.
A subtle and fluid movement: The composition is marked by an ascending flow, an elegant rise which directs the eye towards the top of the canvas. The colors, dominated by tones of blue and accents of orange, blend and stretch, suggesting waves or aerial movements. The knife, used with precision, gives these movements a texture which amplifies the sensation of lightness and fluidity.
A mastery of contrasts and textures: The contrasts of Symposium do not only reside in the shades, but also in the traces created by the knife. The smooth and almost transparent areas contrast with rougher and thicker parts, emphasizing the emergence of drops and silhouettes. These variations bring depth to the work, creating a play between light and shadow which reinforces the impression of emergence and mystery.
An open and dreamlike interpretation: The viewer is free to interpret these floating and abstract silhouettes. Perhaps they represent human figures in metamorphosis, or imaginary creatures springing from a dreamlike ocean. The drops of water, symbols of purity and fragility, bring a cosmic dimension, as if these shapes were the result of spiritual alchemy.
