Gilda BORDAS

Criticism

Discovering Gilda Campanella-Bordas’ painting is a real shock, and I admit being left stunned, with my pen in the air, before bringing this piece of paper to life. Because this artist, with her air of Mediterranean exoticness that has been enriched by Normandy, is really something. Her sprightly mind guides her feverous brushstroke, the effects of which are multiplied in a vibrant pictorial lattice in which her colourful and personalised harmonies range from expressing incandescence to oriental charm. A hint of poetry contributes to unleashing the appeal and conviction in her works which, whether of beings, alleys or riverbanks, reveal an assertive handling of materials. Even the evocation of the contemporary tendencies of Street Art are part of her conviction, as is this symbolism, which vigourously and resolutely points towards a future where everything is possible and where all things can play an effervescent role, for the joy of creation itself. But there is another Gilda Campanella-Bordas, who is just as worthy of interest: firstly there is Guillaume Apollinaire’s admirer, who tries her hand at poetry with real sincerity and a colourful evocation of the words that inspire her mind. Then there is the sculptor who, unlike the author of her spiralling paintings, creates gentle, serene shapes that are full of a wholly simple and wholly natural sensuality. Beings and animals are portrayed in a sombre, almost meditative evocation, their postures being full of an original and credible frankness that is utterly relevant to our century.
