yoannlossel: My Art, Twilights and Dawns "Large landscapes fascinate me. I have always admired the strength that emerges from these visions. Before locking myself up into my workshop to represent these worlds, I am primarily a contemplative searching for spaces and atmospheres. I pay particular attention to the “outside the frame”, this tiny nuance that transforms a space into a story. The Time that shapes the tree and forces it to adopt a posture, the erosion of the stone which distinguished this very one from all the others, the wind modifying the moor and forcing the hawthorn to grow horizontally. These shrubs you identify in the hilltops of Devon or the paintings of Hokusai. I have a special affection for ruins : this space where time becomes tangible, between civilization and wilderness. I try to offer these places a population whom inhabits them, which integrates them with consistency. To feed the depth of these scenes, I opted for the use of gold leaf which generate background by their way of reflecting light. Thus are born twilights and dawns.“ https://www.yoannlossel.com -- source link
