By choosing a plastic rack instead of a suitcase, Clédia Fourniau shares a bit of her painting process. As she rummages through the fabric coupons, she insinuates the workings of the layers that are superimposed on her canvases without ever making a palette by mixing. The artist's visual understatement evokes the waffle-like character her paintings take on as if the paint were reaching out to the viewer, radiating out of the frame, drawing him or her to it, as the fabric spills out of the box.

It is the boat resin used by Clédia Fourniau that gives her canvases this object-like presence. Faithful to her gesture, the artist seeks in this protocol to take the painting out of its formal limits and to give it an existence of its own, almost in levitation. The brilliance plays with this effect when the physical body of the artist and the viewer are as if sucked into the space of the painting and its representation. The reflection of the bodies and the image of oneself are as if trapped in a space-time that is stable and mobile at the same time.
