RENÉE LEVI – LÉSÉDY
2024-03-18Painting is Renée Levi’s natural vocabulary. In his exhibitions, the artist deploys it so that we can make a physical and poetic experience of it. For her, the time of the exhibition, this scene, this strange space offers an impulsive and dazzling moment. There is no point in looking for stories and narrative logics, they have been deliberately reduced. It’s about experiencing intensity, its color and its structure together.
As in all her exhibitions, Renée Levi shares with us here a poetic architecture in a place. The frames of the paintings reverse the perception we have of them. For a time, they are a means of densifying our understanding of its medium and its scope. Renée Levi’s paintings become limit moments in the thought of painting. If his works will perhaps abandon this state when they simply hang on the wall again, here they play on their own balance to gain a foothold in our common space.
