Myriam

81 × 61 cm — Mixed media on paper
With Myriam, Sébastien Allart captures the fragile moment when movement becomes emotion. The female figure, suspended in an almost choreographed gesture, seems to rise and dissolve into the material of the line.
The body is not drawn, it is traversed. The nervous, superimposed, repeated lines convey inner vibration rather than anatomy. The gesture is free, instinctive, almost urgent. The energy of the line creates volume, breath, tension. The drawing becomes pure movement.
This work bears the signature of Sébastien Allart: a dense graphic style, made up of accumulations and deliberate repentances. Each line contributes to an organic construction in which the figure emerges from apparent chaos. The ink splattered on the floor prolongs the body's momentum and inscribes the dance in space.
Myriam is a work of presence and rhythm. Its vertical format accentuates the elevation of the subject and gives it a sculptural power despite the lightness of the medium.
For a collector, this piece is both expressive and timeless: it dialogues as well with a contemporary interior as with a more minimalist space, where it becomes a point of tension and respiration.
