Anne Delfieu shows strange assemblages whose meaning escapes analysis, but whose algebra is reassuring. These are calm and silent works that the eye explores with pleasure, without paying attention to the slight vibrations which gradually creep into the wanderings of the gaze. The bark, the networks, the reliefs in fact form real light traps where attention is lost. The roughness of their surfaces, the regularity of their meanders come to breathe memories from elsewhere, old impressions of travel, some repetitive music.

For several years, Anne Delfieu has been working on monumental ephemeral works in situ, in forests, gardens, against trees. In her tussle with nature, she seeks the opportunity to draw places of transparency in the landscape that the mind will inhabit. In turn, the work that she presents in the gallery consists of trying to bring these elements from the outside into the intimate. A slow transfiguration between the natural and the artificial, already dear to the humanists of the Renaissance.

His latest epoxy creations are part of the same approach, evoking the element of "water" whose dark backgrounds question the why of nothingness.
