Danser La Ligne
From March 14 th to 05.31.2025
Galerie Françoise Livinec 24 Penthievre Paris
The line is both starting point and horizon. It traces, it delimits, it connects. It is the essence of drawing, the fondation of all plastic writing. With Danser La Ligne, Galerie F. Livinec explores this primary gesture, where line becomes language, rhythm and movement.
The line plays with space, traverses abstraction and figuration and creates bridges between periods and styles. From cave art to contemporary experimentation, it is a danse, a breath and an energy.
Dancing the line means exploring the pleasure of the line, the freedom of the gesture and the power of the link it creates.

Dominique Romeyer's paintings are made up of planes, bands and lines of different colours and textures forming multicoloured compositions that playfully bring to mind geometric art without being geometric. They are first and formost the work of a painter, where each painting is continually constructed and deconstructed without a prior goal. They focus on becoming. In terms of colours, the superimposition of thin layers of diluted acrylic paint gives rise to " colours which do not exist", as the painter Johan De Wilde formulated it in a letter to me. " Colours without a name ", which cannot be set as a goal by thought and can only spring from a series of actions.
Romeyer's work is succulent, organic, generous and elegant. It breathes and inspires. It sprouts from a hard and demanding discipline, but gives shape to the dream of freedom. It is new and personal, tender and decisive, recalcitrant and generous.

De kleurvlakken van Dominique Romeyer lijken buiten de tijd te staan. De ervaring als je voor de schilderijen staat, is moeilijk onder woorden te brengen. Een suggestieve aanraking met het doek, geeft geen geheimen prijs, maar toch gebeurt er iets.
Dominique Romeyer maakt ervaringskunst die pas echt in "real life" te vatten is. Vanuit welke invalshoek je ook kijkt, de waarmeming is als een visuele wandeling door kleurvelden in geabstraheerde landschappen. Bedachtzaam, maar anderzijds louter intuÏtief.
