“Painting is a bit like learning mechanics: taking apart reality (or illusion), laying out the pieces in front of you, trying to understand how it works while scratching your head. Then, putting it all back together. Very often you make mistakes: you damage a piece or put it back together backwards… I try to make nice mistakes. After all, it's the breakdown that reveals the mechanism.”
“When I thought about enlarging the format, I wanted it to allow one to look at the image as if through a microscope or an astronomical telescope, something that would allow one to see beyond the surface. It was only then that I began to work in successive layers, and to think about the reason for these layers, and about the color of the support as well. The latter became alternately white or black, these two basic colors (or non-colors), all-light or all-darkness being for me two equally credible ways of representing the nothingness that precedes any image, and on which the image is built layer by layer, like colored veils that are superimposed.
My color superimpositions never stem from a learned pictorial technique, in the sense that a painter who has received academic instruction will paint a red background under a blue sky, because that makes the most beautiful skies. Rather, I try to use the layers of color, stacked in a certain order, to formulate hypotheses about the construction of the visible world.
Texts by Marie Freudenreich, "sculptor and dauber".
• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!
• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.
The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.
• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.
• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.
For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:
• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.
• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.
• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.
