Saint-Georges

"Today, with her dancers, [R. Chopinot] questions the life of Romanesque forms, architectural movement, guided in this research by Jurgis Baltrusaitis, Lithuanian scholar and brilliant art historian.Romanesque Art, in the margins of its architecture, developed through the ornamental sculptures of capitals, tympanums and bas-reliefs, bestiaries and geometric figures. With "Saint-Georges", Régine Chopinot wrests from the bas-reliefs the dynamics of distended forms, anatomical disproportions, limbs bent into improbable postures, and recomposes a fresco that unfolds like a ceremonial that is by turns joyful, grimacing, fervent, but as if appeased."
