Sylvie Guyomard’s work takes on a form of interiority through its investment in slate as a reflective material. Her works allow a rediscovery of slate in creations that suggest power and energy as much as they can simultaneously suggest simplicity and serenity.
Sylvie Guyomard uses slate as a material open to light and to the eye that skims over its tamed but still natural surface. The artist preserves the original appearance of the material suggesting a registering of time as its stratified layers gradually reveal its nature.
Her works are graphic compositions of an aesthetic as subtle as it is raw, playing with light to fire up a chromatic palette.
