About Virginie Gallois

I paint imaginary and graphic spaces. If we can call them "landscapes", then they are interior and personal. Metaphorical, they express thoughts, memories, sensations. I use the process of recovery and erasure, overprinting or concealment, accumulation and dispersion on a surface in which contrasts are expressed. The definition of a chromatic scale may be a starting point. The composition is then defined with a set of shapes and colors, smooth, rough materials, transparencies, opacities, curves, angles, hollows and reliefs, many overlays. I always leave a area that shows the initial layers of ink, often very fluid and free. Painting is my medium of expression and it remains my main subject. It is at once sensation, intuition and knowledge. It’s my way to question the imaginary and its relationship with the real. http://virginiegallois.com
