About Juliet Vles
Born in 1950 in Rotterdam NL. Of french-swiss nationality. Lives and works in the South of France. Essentially an abstract painter and sculptor, whose work is mainly to be found in arte povera and minimal art collections, the artists second area of interest is satirical drawing and collage in a realistic or surrealistic style. Actually, Vles is working on the KRYPTA series, relief or assemblage work, half-painting half-sculpture - geometrical constructions overlaid with painting, drawing and written panels incrusted, intarsia-like, into the supporting frame. The word «Krypta» (from Greek «hidden», «secret») stands for an artistic expression that depicts neither the reality nor the abstraction of our conscious perception of being, but the imago of an unconscious area of the mind not immediately accessible to analytical intelligence. Simultaneously, the artist works on the « transCerebral » series, a pictorial voyage around the human brain and its ambigeous role in human society, a cycle including paintings, collages and computer drawings.

The KRYPTA series:
Relief and assemblage work, half-painting half-sculpture - geometrical constructions overlaid with painting, drawing and written panels incrusted, intarsia-like, into the supporting frame. The word
«Krypta» (from Greek «hidden», «secret») stands for an artistic expression that depicts neither the reality nor the abstraction of our conscious perception of being, but the imago of an unconscious
area of the mind not immediately accessible to analytical intelligence.

« Numa ou la Géométrie de la Paix »
Le cycle « Numa ou la Géométrie de la Paix » est dédié à l’empereur romain Numa Pompelius, personnage légendaire de la mythologie antique. Soucieux d’assurer une paix durable à ses sujets belliqueux
et superstitieux, le souverain se servit d’une géométrie sacrale, soi-disant d’inspiration olympique, pour interpréter « la volonté des Dieux » en fonction de sa propre vision pacifiste. Sur le plan
scientifique, sa doctrine fut plus que douteuse - mais, politiquement parlant, elle prouva un instrument efficace pour maintenir la pax romana pendant les quarante ans de son règne. Dans un esprit
comparable, l’artiste adapte la géométrie à ses besoins artistiques pour « manipuler » le spectateur et le confronter à une vision d’harmonie loin de sa réalité quotidienne, mais pas inaccessible
pour autant.
