Landscape (2019)Mixed-media painting
by Benedicte Gele

GEO-GRAPHIC COLLECTION
It all started during my running sessions and an artistic burn-out in 2019. As I ran, I saw colors danced, landscapes forming, lines drawing in front of me. It was beautiful and full of life, like a rebirth of my art that I felt was running out. That was wearing me out. And then when these images came up many times and every time I went out to run, I thought to myself that I had to do something with it, it was urgent, it was there. Timidly I got into it and then one day it all came out loud and fast but it was right and it was good. I felt great with myself and my art again.

This mix of expression of what I see during my races, these landscapes dancing in front of my eyes, mixed with the graphics that I love so much which translates into outlines, points, curved lines like a map to find one's way, like a life map. My Geo-Graphics were then born, a term expressed by a friend and which seemed obvious to me and absolutely correct in terms of what I was experiencing and what was being created.

"Running, running on the ground substrate, feel the irregularity of the terrain under my shoes, every hard pebble or every sweet clump of grasses, smell the scent of the fresh wet earth, the colors of the landscape swing in front of my eyes. I run. I’m alive."
