“Making the invisible visible”, showing the imprint of time by capturing on blank canvases stretched over matrices installed in nature the micro-organisms deposited by the wind and rain by leaves, dust, insects… Resulting from a slow process based on the concept of “laissez-faire”, Clément Borderie ‘s canvas-pieces give abstraction the density of life. In her ceramic mobiles, Cat Loray also gives a density, an almost vibratory presence, to the void. A breath, a vibration that also runs through her drawings and her atmospheric landscapes painted by the cold, and that we perceive through the endless shimmering of her wave in mirrored Plexiglass winding through the garden of the Francès Foundation, which devotes a magnificent face-to-face to the couple. From the use of randomness and repetition to the deployment in space, a fascinating confrontation of their pictorial and extra-pictorial experiments…
