About the Item

Silhouettes of trees, drawn in a fine, nervous black, rise up on the canvas in a dense cluster at its centre. Their branches claw at a shifting light — gold, orange, blue-grey, white — that seems to burst through in patches behind them, like a stormy sky broken by bright spells. The sand mixed with the acrylic gives the background a grainy, vibrant texture, while the black graphic lines of the branches structure the whole composition along a vertical axis, both fragile and precise. The Elegance of Trees in Winter stems from an observation made in a car, a landscape glimpsed in motion: those unreal, contrasting lights against a grey sky and the slender silhouettes on the crests of hills. Emmanuelle Vroelant loves watching them while daydreaming in a moving car. The challenge lies above all in rendering a particular light, fleeting and contrasting: it is a real feat to depict the jubilant light of a warm ray of sunshine against a stormy sky. It is a light that can only be caught in passing; it must be savoured before it disappears. The drawing of the trees, for its part, organises the composition: the graphic quality of the trees serves her as a structure. She hopes to convey a warm sensation despite the coldness of the wintry subject: in front of this painting, she hopes people feel pleasure, a desire to smile, room to breathe and warmth. The sand mixed with the acrylic gives these wintry silhouettes a grain that anchors the light in the material.

Artist Comments
Building up many layers of color in oil paint and cold wax medium, Valerie then used scrapers to reveal the tree trunks in an abstract landscape. Warm orange and yellow trees standing in front of a cool blue and green background. Heavy texture complements the expressionist palette. The piece is part of a series of three works. Although Valerie did not create them as triptych, the three hang well close together.
