About the work Brigitte Broquet artistic work is to be understood as a documentation of the change. This work the outcome of her observations and results from the philosophy that abstract painting is a process of reduction which transforms both visible representations and "the inner natur". As a consequence her paintings develop new figurations that evoke an entirely un-objective, sensuous experience. Nonetheless the objective presentation in her work is of central importance. In the tiniest fraction of seconds, a spur of the moment, a second image is presented by the artist to the viewer: an image within the image. Under the influence of black light it seems as if a curtain is drawn and a secret disclosed. www.brigitte-broquet.com
