Étrave by LINE.C: An Ode to Light and Breath
A Vibrant Work in Motion
With Étrave, LINE.C presents a 60 x 60 cm painting where matter and light merge in a powerful surge. Executed in lacquer and oil on wood, enriched with pigments, bronze powder, and gold powder, this work embodies the artist’s expressive force. Available at Galerie Bouillon d’Art in Bordeaux and online, it demonstrates a mastery that blends ancestral techniques with contemporary aesthetics.
The composition unfolds around a female face turned toward the light, eyes closed, as if carried by an invisible breath. The features dissolve into a complex web of golden lines—labyrinthine structures suggesting movement, energy, and an opening toward infinity.
Gold as a Living Matter
The use of gold powder and bronze powder grants Étrave a unique luminous intensity. Far from being mere ornament, gold becomes a living, vibrant material, capturing and reflecting light. This radiance transforms the work into a true contemporary icon, where the modernity of gesture meets the solemnity of traditional techniques.
Each gaze reveals new glimmers and depths depending on angle and illumination. This visual richness echoes great pictorial traditions where gilding symbolized the sacred, while anchoring the piece firmly in the present.
The Face as a Space of Transcendence
For LINE.C, the face is a passage, a territory where emotion and the unconscious take shape. In Étrave, it rises like a prow—the title itself refers to the forward part of a ship—cutting through space toward the unknown. The golden lines surrounding it become flux, wind, or energy, extending this forward momentum into the beyond.
The profile, bathed in light, embodies a suspended moment, poised between interiority and openness to the world. The work questions the balance between grounding and impulse, between intimacy and universality.
A Unique Artwork Available for Purchase
Presented by Galerie Bouillon d’Art in Bordeaux, Étrave is aimed at collectors of contemporary art seeking a one-of-a-kind work of strong symbolic resonance. Its 60 x 60 cm format makes it both powerful and accessible, suited to private interiors as well as larger exhibition spaces.
Acquiring Étrave means entering LINE.C’s universe, where each painting arises from the encounter between matter, light, and vital breath.
