Exposition individuelle à la galerie d'art de Castelsarrasin « Shinrin-Yoku 森林浴 ou l’arbre dans tous ses états »
du 28 janvier au 27 Mars 2020
« Shinrin-Yoku 森林浴
ou l’arbre dans tous ses états »
Originaire du Japon, le Shinrin-Yoku littéralement bain de forêt, est une thérapie qui consiste à puiser l’énergie de la nature et plus particulièrement celle des arbres. Ce thème s’est imposé à l'artiste qui, à travers ses œuvres, invite à se reconnecter à la nature et incite à l’observation et à l’interaction (sylvothérapie ou "tree hugging").
D’une création à l’autre, la plasticienne poursuit sa démarche de recherche et d’exploration des motifs abstraits présents dans la nature, en associant différentes techniques de manière empirique à des formats et supports non conventionnels (polyptyques, volume, sculpture...).
Plus qu'une simple réappropriation de l’univers végétal, son travail joue sur la dichotomie entre figuration et abstraction laissant ainsi un champ libre à l’imaginaire du spectateur.

« La terre est un matériau fabuleux. Malgré les contraintes, elle me permet d'exprimer mes sentiments, mes émotions, des attitudes.
Elle représente le moyen de projeter la créativité qui est en moi. Elle permet une introspection et un travail sur l'humilité. »

A Reason to Collect Art - Day 167
Sometimes we are drawn to a particular work of art without knowing why – until we research the artist’s background. As we learn more about the artist, we often embark on our own voyage of self-discovery.
When I was first introduced to Natalie L.’s paintings, I felt a certain resonance, like when you meet someone new and feel you’ve known them all your life. Her recent paintings struck me the most – I felt I was experiencing what she experienced as she was inspired by a particular scene that she would later put to canvas. When I read more on the artist, I discovered many similarities in our backgrounds, validating that resonance I felt.
Natalie L. is a self-taught Parisian-born artist. After a successful career as a project manager in the tourism industry, she left the city life to embark on a more bohemian lifestyle. There’s a certain European romanticism in her artwork, which conjured up wonderful memories of the year I spent in France, and which speaks to my French (Canadian) roots. As we were both project managers in the tourism industry, combining that French spirit with a passion for travel explains why I felt that we might experience the world in a similar way. In discovering Natalie L.’s work, I have re-discovered a bit of myself. Through her paintings, I am back on the road, travelling right along with her.
Natalie L. did get to do some of the things that are still on my list. After leaving her life in the city, she traveled to the South Pacific, which gave her the time and inspiration to fulfill her dream of becoming a full-time artist.
One of the consequential experiences of her life was sailing around the world on a 33-foot wooden sloop with her husband, whom she met in Vanuatu.
There are many reasons to collect art, and this is one of them. Artwork sells because there’s a connection between the work and the collector. It’s difficult to put into words, but you know it when you see it because you “understand” the work immediately and, like a good relationship, the appreciation deepens over time. Getting to know more about the artist often strengthens that appreciation.
Art is always a delicious voyage…….and for those of us who collect art, it’s a trip we can bring home with us.
