Eric Roux-Fontaine’s Dreamlike Paintings
Eric Roux-Fontaine paints night scenes that read like double exposures: dark ground, unlikely light, small figures doing impossible things.
In one canvas a child in a white dress and bonnet, barefoot and seen from behind, lifts a white cloth that catches iridescent colour along its edge, coloured orbs drifting through an ink-dark sky above concentric rings on the ground.
Another painting dissolves a forest into gold mist, glowing orbs lodged in the leaf mass, and a tiny tightrope walker balanced on one taut line to the right.
