EXHIBITION LUCIE PLATO from 15 till 23 October 2004

The city of Charenton honours the promising talent of a local artist.

Lucie Plato whose route is atypical, decided to dedicate himself

completely to the painting for four years. After a forming of driving force

in plastic arts, she frequents the prices of drawing according to Gérard Pestarque's

alive models.

She continues her forming to the workshop Earth and the fire then to the

workshop of the Passage.

She is going to benefit from a solid learning in techniques drawing, of the sketch

and of The painting by following the prices of studios Pierre

Soulages de Charenton.

Lucie Plato gives evidence of a technical versatility, a maitrisant the oil and the watercolor

today while experimenting the other mediums such as the sculpture and the photography.

Some some of his works are symptomatic of searches favoring bridges

between the photography and the painting.

The body is a recurring subject in its work, for which she dedicates a real passion.

She interrogates His subject indefatigably with this faculty appropriate for

the big artists to invent a language.

Alder time or the body, the vehicle of the commercials often amounts to standards in the

disinfected presence, Lucie Plato defines the beauty in the presence of the model, the

materialism of his flesh and the feelings which ensue from it. We could almost speak

" about fanaticism of the body " so much she scrutinizes her model and transposes

it with force and generosity. It is in the stubbornness, the perseverance in Push away

the limits that often are born the big works.

No superfluous details or of effects, his painting aims towards a certain perusal to reach

the gasoline(essence) of the subject. The light of nudes springs from browns and from ochre,

the walnut stain is used with an extreme sensibility. The subject is made alive by a maitrisé

gesture, never mechanical, letting suspect a perpetual collection of reinvention.

As Giacometti models heads, Lucie Plato crunches nudes with the will Of insufler at the same

moment life and energy.

The invoice of the artist is the resultant of the acuteness of its observations, its faculty to get

the sensitive signals of the world which surrounds him.
