By (re)developing the stoneboard technique invented in the 19th century to create decorative effects for interior architecture, artist Sophie Garralon invites us to discover these sensitive, organic works. height without shade 69cm height with shade 105 cm width 54 cm Sophie Garralon is a French artist born on 30/01/1966 . She creates colorful high-relief compositions. Emerging volumes, structures with gushing lines, fragmented, broken, dynamic... The beginning of a work starts with the impulse of freedom of form, a plethora of tangled mini chaos and random lines. At this point, the uncertain reading of the work inspires the artist to take a new direction. Playing with colors (often complementary to each other: red/green, yellow/purple, orange/blue...), various materials such as cardboard, vinyl paper, glittery highlights... The artist seeks to capture the viewer's eye and senses through multicolored graphic optical games and material effects. The dreamlike vitality of this joyful complexity invites passers-by to awaken the emotions of their inner child. Sophie Garralon seeks to connect with the original inner world of each viewer. Reminiscences of early emotions in the aesthetic discovery of the child's world. A Mexican lady once told me that in her country "paintings with certain colors had the vocation of healing people's souls...".
