Would Véronique LAFONT’s painting make ARTIST’s spring?
This poetic window opens onto the interior landscape of Véronique Lafont, the reality of nature that she has recomposed, floating and light like a silk scarf in the air of February, the month of love.
His painting is written with a brush, eyes and hands fascinated by the effects of everything around him. Energetic and spontaneous gestures, the artist thus enveloped shares her colorful meditations with her plastic and chromatic palette.
Her meticulous work, the precision of the techniques she masters serves the cohabitation of blurs, reflections, impasto, fluidities, scratchings or touches.
This collaboration with ARTIST also responds to his taste for textures, materials and colors. This concept of Art-à-Porter corresponds to its values in the field of clothing fashion: an eco-responsible approach, work based on color in unexpected ranges.
Before devoting herself exclusively to painting, Véronique Lafont herself created a bestiary of more than 500 textile sculptures and around a hundred predominantly textile sculpture books.
Before leaving the landscape of this session, we obtained some confidences on the projects of the artist who inspired it so well.
Screwed into the workshop and full of creative ardor, the end of 2022 will be dedicated to the three gallery owners who represent it:
