Variations on a Theme

Luc Pottiez TourBuLance
Artist's statement:
The downpours of hail and the storms with thunder often generate abrupt gusts changing gear and direction unceasingly. In the same way, in the areas where the surface of the ground is very broken, like behind the obstacles, a building for example, turbulence is often important, the very irregular and swirling air flow being here.

Stéphane Losse Turbulences
Artist's statement:
Turbulence !!! It makes me remember the summer's evenings when it was stormy. The light and the colours at this moment are intenses. It's like if we were in another world.

Redpancake Fulgence
Artist's statement:
Each time I see the famous photography of mushroom cloud of Hiroshima, I am struck by the Silence which accompanies it.

Chloe Yzoard Turbulences natales
Artist's statement:
All living beings start their lives with an agitated trip: their birth.
Beyond the biological aspect, with this painting, I have chosen not to give a poetic approach to the moment, although the birth of a human being surely is a moving, unique and beautiful instant.
To reflect this month topic “turbulences”, and on the basis of the metaphor of a plane, I aimed at underlining that this unique moment is a forced and dangerous trip, as much for the mother, the host, than for the child, the passenger. The warm colours with their realistic and tragic connotations contrast with the bright blue colour, symbol of hope for the hopefully joyful end for both actors.

Laurence Galand Passage difficile
Artist's statement:
Stupors and tremors of teenager.
