ELSY GODIN
Read moreWe discovered this artist thanks to her daughter Julie who holds a decoration shop in Caen (Scala, in this case). It is difficult to remain insensitive to the painting of Elsy, we decided to meet her. The house is located not far from the Battery Museum, do not hesitate to ask him for explanations by phone for the "radioguidage"! The workshop open to visits to see the day, in the meantime, it is in all simplicity that Elsy welcomes you outright in her and there you embark on a trip in her universe. A world Famous artist, Elsy Gaudin is paradoxically less known in France, so we offer you the opportunity to fix this unusual one. Paintings that have history, travel inspirations (Italy is very present) or a specific moment, women, music, carnival, colour, collages, small pieces of famous scriptures (Elsy is graphologue at the base) included in the canvases, faces worked to the pulp of the fingers (the effect is penetrating), of the glazes, work with knife, brush, gold leaf, transparency, it is of course reductive to describe the painting of Elsy in this way, because that is all and more. Incredibly sensitive canvases: The Choir, the Devil's Advocate, the Young Man Lover, the Fisherman of Words… A moving journey and especially a meeting with a real artist who is kind enough to share a little of his world and especially the finesse of putting it within your reach, both in the same way as in himself. As we write these lines, she plans to expose to Caen, rue Arcisse de Caumont, from July 2007. To discover absolutely!
