Movement

In both her personal projects and commissioned works, Soulage focuses movement, considered as a pictorial motif. The transition from the inherently moving and three dimensional subject of the body to the flat and static surface of the image is, for her, an exploration at the edge of narrative and abstraction. This relationship between the tangible and the intangible is at the heart of her visual writing. Beyond its ability to evoke, bodies in motion, sculpted by light and color, become rhythm and expression of form. Her approach to creating images combines formal rigor and intuitive sensitivity. Her images are created ‘in camera’, not with post-production effects. Soulage uses light and the photographic medium to make visible the dynamic projection in space.
