Schroeder’s work
begins with a realistic sketch which is then deconstructed to her signature
striations. Working meticulously, she
then applies layer upon layer of acrylic and oil paint with a syringe. She then reworks each line with a knife to
create precise lines. Depth is created
by the variation of color and finish.
When a face, an
animal, a landscape, or any other subject is evacuated of its linear structure,
it acquires a completely different form, a different identity and dimension, and a
new prestige. One does not recognize it at first sight; it emerges as the very
process of observation. It is here that the magic occurs, as the viewer
consciously discovers a work of abstract character in vivid color which plays
upon the tension between the figurative and the imaginary.
An expert in both
color and composition, Virginie Schroeder creates paintings that are both
abstract and photorealistic, while also being surprisingly playful. Her work has been exhibited internationally in
Canada, France, and the United States.
