France-based & international artist, Benedicte Gele turns the lines into expressive and alive forms. The line vibrates under her hands, the horse comes alive almost by itself as her act of painting is an intuitive expression of the feelings at the moment. No plan, no precise objective. Her process is the present moment mixed with a letting go.
DIVE INTO AN ARTWORK
Writing about my paintings was a very hard exercise for me for many years because I didn’t really know me, not at all actually. I found out that the more I was aware of what I was, the more I could talk about my art. And the more I talk about my art, the more I know me.
Why are you looking at me?
What did I do ?
What are you feeling ?
Are you the mirror or the reflection?
Do you exist?
What are you looking for through me?
I am you as much as you are me.
This space between us two where for a moment we are one. Harmony. Symbiosis or connivance. Does this speak to you?
The strength you see in me may be in you.
Simply.

“I longed and longed to purchase this ink, but kept torturing myself. Couldn’t bring myself to part with the money. I caved and realized I had to have the piece. It captures the element of the equine soul… you can see it there in the detail. Couldn’t be happier to call it mine. Thank you.”
