Artist's approach
As part of the "Horizons Telluriques" exhibition, Florence Poirier-Nkpa produced a kit work of 2m30x2m30. “For this work, I chose oil painting which differs from my usual technique which is more oriented towards collage. Explains Florence Poirier-Nkpa. This work is the fruit of a reflection on the possibility of a horizon comparable to a line leading to a target that represents the goals that everyone, as a human being, seeks to achieve before the end.
The artist's universe will be highlighted during a stage of the exhibition scheduled for 2019. “It will then be a work on the notion of meeting and self-discovery through the other ( and vice versa). This is why I work a lot on the portrait and wonder about the look of the other. ”
