Caroline Kennerson – Bic pen drawing on Japanese paper on bark – 32 x 20 cm – 2024
A fragment of bark that becomes a story, between raw material and artistic refinement.
Caroline Kennerson captures the very essence of nature in this unique work, where the bark, both rough and delicate, becomes a medium for visual poetry . With meticulous pen work on Japanese paper , she magnifies the rough and irregular texture of the bark, transforming it into a sculptural piece of great elegance .
The drawn patterns evoke a dreamlike, almost mystical plant world, where the eye perceives intertwined organic and abstract shapes . Each line, each curve is a whisper of the forest, a tribute to the tree that inspired this creation.
Light and shadow play with the natural reliefs of the bark, enhanced by the contrast of deep blacks and the subtle grain of the paper. The whole rests on a minimalist base that underlines its contemporary and timeless dimension.
"Écorce 5" is a work that celebrates the raw beauty of nature, while revealing the delicacy of the artistic gesture. A piece that is both unique and precious, which will bring to any space a deep connection with art and matter.
