Françoise LEMAITRE-LEROUX

Criticism

For almost thirty years, Françoise Lemaître-Leroux has passionately sworn herself to the arts of drawing and painting, capturing the primordial liveliness and spontaneity of life in Rouen, where this Dieppe-born artist makes her home. As a dyed in the wool woman of Normandy, she is disposed of a highly original talent that has been brilliantly mastered and conducted, thanks in no small part to a determined and uncompromising state of mind that weighs in equally in questions of art as well as questions of life itself. Faithful to her instincts from the very beginning, even her early works are characterized by a powerfully expressed abundance of color, and under the vigor of her charming and spell-binding touch she brings to life an elaborate realism that demonstrates her closeness to her own epoch. As the winner of numerous prizes in just recognition of her talent, Lemaître-Leroux specializes in portrait painting, but also deliciously dabbles in the dynamic vicissitudes of surrealist art. This pictorial effervescence, full of imagination, has led Lemaître-Leroux towards action and the brilliant meticulousness of a dazzling and athletic realism, a true challenge that she continues to meet with her otherworldly yet mechanical genius, pushing her paintings into the gold and silver of dreams that are as equally fabulous as enthusiastic and vital.
