" Il ne s'agit pas de peindre la vie.
Il s'agit de rendre vivante la peinture."
Pierre Bonnard.
De Jacques Bartoli, peintre provençal dont elle a été l'élève, Josiane Pape a appris la technique du glacis à l'huile.
De Pierre Bonnard, coloriste génial, elle va retenir cette conception moderne de la peinture et de la couleur menant jusqu'aux frontières de l'abstraction....
Josiane Pape, artiste peintre corse, a débuté avec une peinture très intimiste, assez "floue" comme elle aime à le décrire, peinture qu'elle a eu l'occasion de présenter dans des expositions de renom comme celle d'Argenteuil.
Elle a ensuite revolutionné son ecriture picturale en introduisant la matière et en repoussant chaque fois davantage les limites de l'abstraction. Passionnée de peinture, elle est aussi par la restauration du patrimoine. "J'aime cet art qui force le respect et enseigne l'humilité. Restaurer un batiment ou un monument implique des recherches et un travail approfondis et materiaux de nos anciens. L'occasion de se rendre compte alors, qu'ils ont tout inventé.....".
Si dans sa peinture Josiane Pape évoque plus qu'elle ne montre, suggère plus qu'elle ne dit, c'est pour laisser au regard de l'Autre toute la liberté d'entrer dans son monde, a mi chemin entre le sacré et le pictural.
Mysterious, refined, passionate, sometimes violent, Josiane Pape's paintings invoke the viewer's emotions inviting us into mystical realms.
The choice of colors? Nobody can be indifferent to her palette. Strong warm colors set the tone, shades of violet, green and black with touches of blue and orange. "My color palette isn't cheerful but it reflects the most important influences in my life whether they be religious, esoteric, mystic or exotic. These colors associated with movement are those who best reflect my vision of relationships between man and woman, the profane and the sacred as well as my relationship to the Journey".
Josiane Pape's paintings suggest more than they show, without becoming abstract. No faces or expressions for her characters, just a few warm touches show life; a life with struggles and combats never dispensed of disarming harmony. "My work as a whole portrays the incessant struggle between man and woman and of woman's resistance to submission".
She studied with Jacques Bartoli, a provincial painter from whom she learned the glazing technique. From Pierre Bonard, a brilliant colorist, she learned a "modern" concept of painting and color that takes you to the limits of abstraction….. At first Josiane Pape's artistic creations were intimist or "vague" as she likes to describe them but her artistic expression has evolved, gradually introducing matter and pushing back the limits of abstraction further each time.
An art lover and a perfectionist, she began exhibiting late because she was persuaded she was unable to show successfully completed works. Today, Josiane Pape has decided to exhibit her paintings.
If in her paintings she evokes more than she shows and suggests more than she says, it is to permit the viewer to freely enter her world, situated midway between the sacred, the religious and the pictorial. |
