"Create to open up to new possibilities"
Today, Marion Ancelme's artistic and human development leads her to question the question of determinism more than ever. The pieces in this exhibition question what our real choices are, our free will and what is in the order of necessity or even loyalty. A determinism in direct link with the birth, its place, its time. Through his plastic research there is a desire to set in motion to try to redistribute the cards: movement, displacement, travel, in order to set out again according to a new paradigm.
This work towards openness can at any time during its process be insidiously overtaken by all kinds of confinements and the final works retain the scars. His research on determinism involves the use of three mediums in a global approach: photography, ceramics and painting.
Photography
..there is a first series of photographs taken in India, a country where determinism has a particular resonance through the caste system. These are photographs of the feet of the moving population (city of Mumbai where the population density is one of the highest in India). They are the first of a research work and are at the origin of intimately linked ceramics. A second series of photographs shows the space-time between two worlds as a possible opening to the search for one's own world.
Ceramic
... ceramics: through the earth, ceramics, it deeply questions the question of determinism. She creates earthen matrices, the starting point for a possible birth or rebirth, giving birth to a matrix that will be decisive from the earth. From these matrices are born other works in ceramics. They are creations of silhouettes of children carrying Singular universes in the making, or perhaps already determined.
Paintings
..painting: painted silhouettes of children, children in search of their identity and the directions that will be offered to them. His pictorial achievements evolve at the same time as his work in ceramics and photography advances. Everything is linked, the different mediums feed on each other, her different approaches allow Marion Ancelme not to remain locked in a known dimension but to always go towards the unknown, perhaps like the illusion of escape from a certain determinism.
MARION ANCELME'S JOURNEY
After studying at the Beaux - Arts de Reims, professional experience in a charitable environment in France and abroad, and art therapist studies at the National Institute of Expression, Creation, Art and Therapy ( INECAT) in Paris, she continues her career as a visual artist as a journey in which her questions about the individual remain central. Her approach is part of the movement of artists of emotion and in a certain sense, she achieves a humanist art
which expresses "a vision of what is inflicted on men".
The contemporary realism of individuals questions and gives birth to the need to sublimate certain realities in order to be able to continue to move forward. His creative work revolves around the individual from the angle of a process of reconsideration through the question of determinism: "to create to open up to new possibilities". Through creation, she seeks to transform, give birth to, repair, open up, liberate ... Her work is not a political position, nor is it a sociological approach. It is above all a look at the human condition and its existential constraints. As a humanist artist, his approach is particularly at the emotional level.
It is the emotion that pushes her to act, to create. The more it is crossed by human realities, the more the act of creating becomes a necessity for it, in a movement going "from emotion to creation". A quote from Francis Ponge made her fully aware of why she has this need, and not the desire, to be an artist: "the function of the artist is very clear: he must open a workshop, and take it into account. repairing the world, in fragments, as it comes to it ”.
