Zébra3 in Bordeaux (France) and l' Oeil de Poisson in Quebec (Canada) have the common objective of supporting and promoting artists through assistance in the production and dissemination of contemporary works of art. In 2018, the two structures joined forces to co-produce an artistic exchange between Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Quebec, each welcoming an artist for a creative residency followed by an exhibition.

This artistic exchange aims to offer a new context of research and creation allowing artists to confront other cultural environments, enrich their practice, develop their careers and international connections.

In residence for two months at the Zébra3 studio, his project is based on a reflection: the relationship between nature and architecture. What place does nature take in a city? How does it fit into it? How can we perceive it on a daily basis? In what forms is it displayed? It was while walking through streets, alleys, parks and gardens that Émilie Bernard gradually developed an inventory of natural elements and images taken from the urban landscape, signs of this palpable and fragile presence of nature.

“ By creating light and delicate drawings, I analyze intuitively chosen subjects by modifying their scale, by simplifying their general lines and by removing their volume to work in solids. This transformation carried out on the subjects will sometimes define and circumscribe them, sometimes distance them from their essence. The subjects studied then appear on paper in isolation or as elements among others to create very refined or very loaded compositions resulting from accumulations, overlays and repetitions. The designs present both a great economy and a certain excess; they are made simply in graphite, but play with subtle nuances, with the tiny and the imperceptible. The tracks are also sometimes blurred: the subjects remain imprecise, the effect of depth is confused, the forms mix with each other. In the end, it is a sometimes familiar and recognizable, sometimes mysterious and abstract whole that is evoked. "

The Looking for the Paths exhibition is developing in the form of an installation of graphite drawings, series of watercolors and stripped objects taken from or inspired by architecture that shyly creep among foliage, branches and plants. Each of the moments is an invitation to take a contemplative look at footprints, pieces, traces of nature and, ultimately, to repeat this exercise.

observation everywhere around you. A delicate project with an essentially poetic character.
