Véronique DECLERCQ

It all starts with a rainbow, tirelessly repeated, with a marker. It all starts with a rainbow, and a dry-point engraving course offered by the artist Chris Delville within the Club Antonin Artaud (Brussels). The gesture of the rainbow takes all its dimension, returns all its depth once applied to the medium, which does not make it possible to repent, just to directly transcribe the waves which come from the inside. Touched by Declercq’s work, Chris Delville suggested her to keep practicing this technique on a weekly basis, in her personal workshop. A creative relationship that has endured since 1997, between the raindrops and the sunbeams that pierce through the windows of the small courtyard, accomplices of the hatching of arches, skies ... waves! … Of whites and grays.
