Arabesques, curlings, intertwining, volutes, tournaments, hatching ... Claudie Laks, in a series of lively gestures, covers her canvases, most often large format, colorful traces twirling. A subtle clutter that offers viewers fields of wild herbs and flowers, scores or perhaps handwritten letters. There is Cy Twombly, automatic writing and a lot of lyricism in his abstraction. It swarms, it dances, it lives. It is imbued with freedom, with primitivism as well. Under an instinctual appearance, the trait is mastered. Orderly chaos or chaotic order, in short. The artist builds by redaction, by successive layers, scraping the color, modeling it. Material color, whether fluid or thick, opaque or transparent, dirty or bright, is realized in its confrontation with other colors. She is like "let go" and delivered by the gesture, playing with her dynamism with space and light. The colored spiral, in a gesture of eternal recom- mencement, gives birth to the work.
