Marine de Soos uses both her eyes and her hand to afford us a glimpse of the invisible, an alternative texture of time. \nLike a presence which suddenly sneaks into the world, within this “Lointain immobile (Stationary at a distance)” occurs an instant of eternity which suspends the arrow of time. \n<\/p>\n\n

It is a fisherman, the suspended motion of a young shepherd walking, the mineral setting of the slow progress of a caravan.<\/p>\n\n
It is “A l\u2019ombre d\u2019\u00eatre aim\u00e9e (In the Shadow of Love)”, the small girl cradled between her father’s knees, wrapped in a shred of simple fabric. They have so much to tell us \u2026 Within their destitution, the spoken word is silent.<\/p>\n\n
It is the mother who is playing, teaching her child to live by communicating the essential tool for knowledge which is love.<\/p>\n\n
How is it that these African or Oriental beings are so immediately familiar to us? That, beyond the apparent exoticism of the creative experience, a paradoxical proximity is established from the outset, a fraternal imperative faced with the evidence. <\/p>\n\n
When art transcends the barriers of time and space and throws us into contact with the very soul of the world, we become once again, for a moment in time, what we are, natives of the territory of \u2026 that which lives, loves, dies and is perpetuated. <\/p>\n\n
A sensorial sculpture imbued with motion, the poetry of Marine de Soos’s works is that of the “prose of days”, a form of antidote to the usurpation of time. <\/p>\n\n
Escaping the cynical chaos of the world, the artist leads us on an ethical pilgrimage towards what is essential, her gaze extending a mirror to us all. <\/p>\n\n
The accuracy of her perception, the perfect mastery of each gesture, are offered up simply as a presence in the world, a conversion of the perception which inexpressibly opens within us a path towards the light, a gateway to a discreet and shrouded truth. Shrouded in the silence of humility.<\/p>\n\n
Marine de Soos offers us a chaste expression, an ethical and aesthetic directive, of her union with the soul of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1086,"template":"","class_list":["post-815","artistes","type-artistes","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
