The softness of Marie Larrivé's brushwork barely conceals the intensity of the colors she uses. They're there, obvious, seductive and striking. And yet, if the designer and animator feels so at home with a powerful palette, it's not to show off her big muscles. The Parisienne's science lies precisely in containing the cries of these vivacious beings. So she spreads them across her canvas with all possible suppleness, avoiding jerks and dominating her high notes. Then comes the encounter with the dark side of things, which she undertakes to make as cordial as possible, as if, despite everything, gray and neon pink weren't so different. At once comfortable and strange, Marie Larrivé's images have the softness of home and the exoticism of the strange. An irresistible sensation.
