BURLATS (Tarn)

La Dépêche du Midi - 18 september 2009.
Journées du patrimoine au pavillon d'Adélaïde

"With the European Heritage Days, the Pavillon d'Adélaïde, the gem of civilian medieval architecture will be open to the public on Saturday and Sunday to show an exhibition organised by the Parc naturel régional du Haut-Languedoc.
«On the move» is the theme that the two artists have developed. Victoria Milroy grew up on the Isle of Arran in Scotland where her love for natural landscapes has turned into a passion for art expression. After travelling, living and studying in Paris, New York, Sydney or Mexico, this world traveller has at last settled in Saint-Jean de Paracol on the eastern side of the Pyreneas. Her work focuses on movement, the relation between body and space, music, dancing and the artist's gesture.
Anna Dos Santos, who teaches Art and is qualified in Art History, has taken part in a great number of exhibitions, art events and salons for the last ten years in Southern France. This dynamic artist, who loves Castres where she lives, is very keen on travelling as it offers multicultural spaces and a world of abstraction from which she draws her colours, the lights, the matters themselves and her whole inspiration. In the wake of a recent stay in Beijing, she offers a new artistic work that brings together collages, acrylics and Indian ink. Our two guests already exhibited their work together last spring in the 7th session of « Let's go... the artists'way » organised by sixteen Pyrenean villages in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude. This time, they repeat this human artistic experience in the Tarn where they have painted a movement with " lines, rythms, gestures, traces, signs, the dancing of the brush that capture the energy, the memory and the swiftness of the upward flights on the canvas".
