FEUILLES BLEUTÉES

Mey-Yu continues, through small formats, his exploration of the representation of nature.

Agnès Fabre emphasizes about her painting: "She refuses the brush and prefers to apply her colored paste with tools that she invents. Her main concern being to leave a trace, to transpose a visual and tactile sensation onto the canvas, she seeks the third party who, in her hands, operates this unspeakable transfer, this passage from the real to the symbolic, the metamorphosis of banality into sensitive testimony. She picks all sorts of leaves - philodendron, rhubarb, palm, as well as the paliurus hemsleyanus - collects unusual objects or scraps found on the ground or in a DIY store by Kim, her husband and painting partner.

These “objects”, most of the time intended for other uses, offer SU Mei-Yu the possibility of transgressing their initial form of which she retains only the most minimal trace. They are intercessors between the artist and the painting which occupies first place. The tool lends itself to SU Mei-Yu's gestures, but it is the painting, in the end, that will have the last word."
