Description: Milano: Silvana, 2012. 20cm., pbk., 128pp., 69 color illus. French-English text. Exhibition held at Métropole, Saint-Etienne. Summary: Is painting something that must be carried out in an autonomous, legitimate context? Does it represent self-supporting relevance within a clearly defined psychological, socio-cultural sphere? Does it reflect the mechanisms of hyper-sensuous, spectacular actions, new imaginary experiences or new fields of action linked to the mechanism of representation? What makes Champion Métadier’s paintings so very authentic lies precisely in this complex questioning. She is not an artist of the 1960s, a period when there was still a belief in the creation of pure images free of any conventional thematic obligations, a period when people fought to assert their own (counter-) position. In the dense, conflictual context of our all-powerful Simulacra Factory, her questioning creates new alternatives. For it is thanks to this radicalisation of the imagination that new links can be made between the different spheres of the mental, and that artistic creativity is still capable of building bridges and opening up new paths.
