Diane Benoit du Rey's large, colorful, abstract paintings are marvellous objects of contemplation, skilfully balancing between of shades of colour whose luminosity the oil paint radiates, to the point of providing a physical experience of the pictorial material. Didn't one observer tell the artist that she felt like she was in a sauna when looking at her paintings? Composed of oil paints, meticulously applied, with fieriness and temperament, not dripping ink or spray. A sensitive and sophisticated technical gesture, oil painting requires mastery and taming. "It's very physical", confides the young artist, who spends hours working on these canvases to bring out the colour, the light, and the texture, layer after layer, in ordeer to extract from the material all its capacity for movement and radiance, without the painter's gesture being discernible in the end.
