Sabine Le Roch
Sabine le Roch lives and works between Paris and the South of France.
The artist uses raw linen as a support, a rough material that she softens with plaster and nourishes with acrylic. On top, she adds collages of old papers and photographic prints. These successive layers give rise to a body of work made up of frozen moments, memories and emotions.
Pure pigments and strata of printed images mingle in the reliefs and depressions of the canvas, creating shadows and hues that gradually appear in the thickness of the material. These gentle nuances suggest shapes and underline contrasts, creating an atmosphere where light wanders, like so many paths.
Photos eroded by abrasion impregnate the canvas just as our emotions fix the nostalgia of a memory. The instinctive compositions of these natural and urban landscapes place us at the heart of an intimate feeling. These suggested universes and the absence of the other give way to time, the time each of us needs to remember, to find ourselves again, to reconnect with our own emotions and feelings.
