Nathalie Dubleumortier

Primarily moved by music and novel writing, I dare to venture into painting in 2004. My taste for the abstract weighs in as kind of logical acquiesence to my linguistic musings, about the power and powerlessness of language and memory. As much as language mishaps speak to us and allow themselves to interpretations, abstract also offers us to see what's undescribable and does so for each individual viewer. Very often, the title alone reveals a clue in comprehending the canvas or image.
Little by little, I include into my paintings such disparate materials as wood, fabric, nails and above all sand from sundry origins.I work with acrylic paint, which prevents doing touch-ups; I create the image almost instantly on canvas or it becomes worthless.
Several themes run throughout my creations: writing, temporality, bullfighting and contrast. Finally, certain canvases reveal human shapes, created with the dripping technique.
