INVISIBLE by JEREMY D. COLLOT-ROSOUX

Particularly true for the paintings of the Invisible series, it is a reality at the frontiers of the invisible and the spiritual that Emilie Bitauld seeks, elevating into abstraction any realistic appearance in her practice. Nevertheless, she always appreciates that the viewer explains to her what he imagines. On the subject of this power of suggestion, she quotes Richter when he explains that the viewer associates an abstract canvas with a known image "because everything is rooted in the world, everything is connected in some way to experience. Sometimes evoking the approach of this emblematic artist, she invites, always, to exceed the visible.

In here she refers to the movement Art and language for the notion of "farce" which seems to her most often appropriate that one wishes to speak about political engagement or when it is a question of taking art seriously. She also quotes Sol Lewitt: "Art that matters is art that explores ideas in depth", the verb "import" being understood as much in the sense of importance as in that of importation, and this in English as in French. Here she explores the mutual impregnation of artists and the refusal of "ownership" of an idea by one artist or another.
