Note:
The rich play of colour and application of media recalls what Karen Wilkin notes about Fournier’s paintings: “They are pictures about the act of painting itself: about gesture and colour, about the pleasure of applying paint, about ways of making paint thick or thin, transparent or opaque. The lushness and subtlety of their surfaces are reason enough for these paintings to exist, in purely formal terms.”
