Schroeder Virginie | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Her work begins with a realistic sketch of her subject, which she then cuts up and deconstructs, before applying a medium in order to delineate the lines of her work. She then superimposes several layers of acrylic and then oil paint, applying colours using a syringe and then reworking them with a knife. Once she is satisfied with the meticulously created harmony, she then scratches the medium in order to reveal the final work. The mix of bright colours and fluorescent paints enables her to create contrasts that showcase the vibration of lines and to give depth to her work.
The viewer first discovers an abstract painting with lines and colours that are skilfully mastered, then he or she back up, lets their gaze focus on a detail and then suddenly they discover a radically different work.
