Between figuration and abstraction, Jacqueline Lemaitre's work offers us an opportunity for escapism. Very often inspired by the sea,
the artist leads us on a voyage of discovery, abandoning reality and inviting us to enter a flawlessly reinvented and dreamy "palpable world".
And yet it is a world that remains possible and very tangible, because the subjects are always recognisable. In the manner of great artists such as Georgia O'Keeffe,
the painter offers a new, very imaginative view on life, whilst watercolour allows her (better than any other medium) to convey this poetic approach with colourful
and flowing pigments. Original compositions are thereby enhanced and tend towards the desired formal abstraction. The resulting paintings portray beautiful fields of
intense colours, which gradually and subtly transform into effects of transparency and light, and her balanced compositions emphasise the very present and structuring
underlying drawing.
