As a painter, Sophie Cordey seeks to express her relationship with the world through painting, as a gateway to fully experience it but also as a means to extract herself from it.
Initially, she joined the Olivier de Serres school, using textile creation as an inexhaustible support for the play of shapes and colors, and then obtained a DSAA at the Kunsthochschule in Berlin-Weissensee.
Her work evokes the landscape, a landscape under construction.
Transcribing and undoing, as a way to appropriate what is observed, traversed, lived. Play of scale, broken perspective, screeching colors; interweaving, expanse, upheaval; deconstruction.
Wind and rain, heat and light, smells, colors, and sounds... Escapades and poetry fill her with raw sensations, accumulated vibrations; then the magic of transformation occurs in her studio. Through small or very large formats, she immerses herself in color, unfolds energy in planes, spaces, openings, and losses of scale at the edge of abstraction, to recall the song of the landscape.
