Vicky Uslé has opted for the search for a space, her own way, based on continuation and reinforcement of open formulas of abstraction, and able to offer the most difficult aspect of art, an image to think about while our feelings are moved or snatched away, a tradition that insists on the poetic potential of abstraction, which she shows off in her best paintings.
This group of paintings suggests industriousness in its creation, and even some delight. They are spontaneous, dynamic, free, fluid and light. Painting grows from a stable imbalance where the possibilities arise from a rendezvous with the unexpected. Form and emptiness share the same space. They define and limit each other. We enjoy suspended time in a studio of solitude. We see in her art a greater need for a dialogue that expands, projecting on to a horizon of debates and perspectives that is “wider and more holistic” that transforms desire and pushes forward.
