Véronique Chagnon Côté, Petite pièce I (l'entrée) (2020), Acrylic on wood panel. Image by Jean-Michael Seminaro.

 In the painting The Entrance, Côte invites you across the threshold.

In the series Petites Pièces, lines cross the floor and run up the walls, traversing the axes of x, y, and z. They dive into the rooms and follow the intuitive instruction of their surfaces. A path emerges through the projection of layers of maps which adhere to every structure. Picturesque columns have fallen, and they now rub shoulders with fake paper plants. Within the folds of these tidy geometries, the lines reappear in thrifty colours, which leave plenty of room for drawing’s future. They will soon complete their circumambulation around the sketchy blueprints of a delicate maze.

L’entrée qui invite à s’insinuer à l’intérieur du seuil.

Dans ces

Petites pièces, les lignes entrent dans le sol et longent les murs traversant les x, y et z. Elles plongent dans les pièces et suivent les instructions à demi naturelles des surfaces. Un chemin se profile à travers les projections de ces couches de cartes qui se rattachent sur les structures. Les colonnes romantiques sont tombées et elles côtoient les plantes de papiers repliées. Dans les plis des géométries ordonnées, les lignes réapparaissent et elles sont économes de couleurs pour laisser toute la place à l’avenir du dessin. Elles termineront bientôt leur périmètre sur les plans édifiés de labyrinthes sensibles et ébauchés.
