Virginie Bailly

If we consider your paintings as sites where reality, memory, and art history are continuously eroded and recomposed, what kind of viewer do you imagine encountering them: an observer, an archaeologist, or perhaps a participant in the very process of sedimentation that the work enacts?
An observer who takes the time to look, to contemplate, and to let the mental landscape that my works represent sink in. Everyone, with their own perspective, knowledge, interests and background, will experience my works from a different angle. The longer you look, the more the artwork reveals to you.
