\n\n\tD<\/span>ominique Dorla, whose artist name is Dorla, is a creole visual artist located in Reunion Island.<\/p>\n

Practicing painting and sculpture, her works have been exhibited on her island but also in mainland France, Mauritius, China and the United Arab Emirates. Impregnated by the cultural traditions and folklore of her island as well as by her discoveries in neighboring countries, she created her central pattern, her trademark: the flowery faces \"yayas\" which are a kind of \"masquerade of recurring shapes\" linked to her multiple origins and which she uses on most of her creations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her favorite medium is oil on canvas or paper, sometimes wood. With multicolored palettes of dazzling colors, she revisits the history of Art <\/span>in her own way<\/span>, thus leading to unexpected and inspiring compositions by their anachronisms and improbable propositions she plays with. <\/span><\/p>\n

She herself defines her practice as \u201cthe exploration of a protean imaginary built since my childhood of lived experiences and intertwined myths of different cultures. A possibility of tales on different aspects and topics on the contemporary society by the meeting or the heterogeneous and often anachronistic fusion of allegories, metaphors and stories including the history of Art \".<\/em><\/p>\n

Her ability to approach registers as wide as different, ranging from classicism to pop or street art, does not help to classify her in a well-defined artistic line but does not leave any doubt about the artist's signature.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u00ab Painting is simply a necessity, a way of writing, a relationship to a constantly changing world. What is painting? A look at the world? A new perception of reality? We are neither chained nor motionless in front of our own shadows and those of objects. We can converse with things and this is what painting offers. Everything can be a pretext to paint and beyond the subject, beyond objects far behind us, painting is a place of reflection or daydreaming. Countless realities are offered to us in the thickness of the world.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n

Henri Matisse said\u00a0 <\/span><\/em>\u201cAll you need is a sign to evoke a face, there is no need to impose on people eyes, a mouth \u2026 You just have to leave the field open to the spectator\u2019s daydreaming\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Dorla <\/span>\"There is obviously something to catch beyond the figurative without categorically committing to abstraction.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n
