CONTEMPORARY ART REVIEW
give the painting its vibrations. This aesthetic has an echo in my work, for example my piece“ Novembre”( 2013, mixed media on canvas, 36 x 72 in). I was strongly attracted to these vibrations of forms and colours without precise representation.
In addition, for a number of years now I have also spent time around artist-run centres for contemporary art, which present exhibitions and works by their members. I realise that all this diversity in the contemporary art community has contributed to cultivating, elaborating and enriching my artistic language.
Your approach is very personal and your technique condenses a variety of viewpoints, that you combine together into a coherent balance. We would suggest to our readers to visit http:// www. marierioux. net in order to get a synoptic view of your work: in the meanwhile, would you like to tell to our readers something about your process and set up? In particular, would you tell our readers something about the evolution of your style? In particular, are your works painted gesturally, instinctively? Or do you methodically transpose geometric schemes from paper to canvas?
Over the years, the major influences on the evolution of my style as an artist have been, first of all, my diverse life experiences and the places in which I have lived. The result is the aesthetic summation of my emotional journeys... My paintings bear witness to moments I have felt and are the echo of my experiences. The foundations I acquired in school and the lyrical emotion I feel come together and join to become my personal vision, which I share and convey in my work.
