Catherine DANOU - Lot 20
Catherine DANOU Franchisseent des bords, 2023 Ink and acrylic on paper & hemp thread Original work 82.5 x 62 cm Catherine Danou doesn't tick boxes. Getting out, staying in are the vast questions posed by her unfinished grids, covered with imprints, writings and indecipherable signs traced by hand or brush. With this index of a priori similar yet different stains, the ex-lawyer overturns the established order. Lokta, her favorite medium, agrees with her: made in the eastern Himalayas, this traditional Nepalese paper contains strings that she removes or splits, altering the trajectory of these lifelines. Nuance and consistency vary according to the rainy season: snow or coffee, frail or armed, the profile, never standard, guides her "music" played constantly in mute tones. Whether she's tinkering with the reverse, whitening or building the right side, Danou goes for economy, discarding useless gestures to make room for chance. Such is the case with her "coincidences", torn papers hastily assembled according to chords of edges, mismatches of tones. His "folded" range is not colorless: red and mint, blue and yellow form here and there disunited couples whose harmony recalls the scores of Paul Klee and Nicolas de Staël.

For it is in the in-between, where "the eye circulates", freed but everywhere solicited, that the work speaks. Or more precisely, "murmurs We would like to thank the "Amelie Maison d'Art" Gallery for its participation in this sale.
