Osmose: Agnes Bogaert and Christelle Romulus

By Ellen Turner Hall

 

Osmose  represents the interaction between the two artistic universes of  sculptor Agnes Bogaert  and painter Christelle Romulus, currently   at the Domaine Claire Mayol in Port Vendres.

I first discovered Agnes Bogaert’s  sculptures many years ago  when  her Miniatures de Géants with their tiny heads on long stalks caught my attention.  This time   she has created larger  pieces like The Guardian, with the same stillness and inward strength of Jaume Plensa’s monumental heads.  From the four pillars of The Fortress  grow five heads all facing different directions. This is what sculpture is about: it requires you to walk around 360°, to look and relook from several points of view  to discover its true message.

Osmose: Agnes Bogaert and Christelle Romulus

 Christelle Romulus’ works  in acrylic, ink  and oil are the products of multiple  processes. Her experiments in colours and textures give her canvasses an almost liquid or glazed effect.  With titles like Incandescence, Chaos or The heart of the universe,  the artist’s abstract paintings glow with movement.

Osmose runs until 9 August. Opening hours : 10h-19h.
