Françoise Segonds

I have been painting since childhood and in 2006 I devoted myself to painting: collective and personal exhibitions (Grand Sud), artist residency for the Sentier des arts de Royan, installations for Bonheurs d'hiver and Squ'arts in Millau and performance paintings. To my credit, 18 years of continuous practice. I use photos but do not seek resemblance at all. "When she draws her eyes do not leave the subject. Under the smooth faces and in the skulls... what storms! Equipped with a pencil, she traces blindly on the support, without looking at it, without control, without repentance. She will discover the surprise drawing!" When painting comes, the result is like a fire of colors-materials: "sometimes the same rage". If the trace/drawing is pure energy, the color/material is the life lived, experienced, spiritual which is born in a storm of brushstrokes. Bright colors: alive, garish, screaming, of: joy? of fear? of anger? “My color is Red.”
