Blandine Saint-Oyant
My work explores the relationship between organic fluidity and geometric shapes, improvisation and control, spontaneity and structure, calmness and exuberance.
My prinicipal medium is oil on canvas, but I often experiment on paper or with
collage when I am working out a new idea. My process employs liquid paint
poured on the surface. When the different batches of paint are poured and the surface rotated, the pigments intermingle and fuse into visually striking patterns and shapes. After many years of painting practice, my process remains largely experimental and improvisational. My aim is to create a space in which contrasting elements are interwoven into organic and fluid compositions. They are about a world in a perpetual state of transformation, an unfolding elegant chaos of energies, a moving buoyant magma of colors and forms frozen into art.
