Anti Iraq War Demonstration <On the occasion of the demonstrations organized against the US invasion of Irak in 2023, she did a series of paintings. About this she wrote " I went to several antiwar protests in Washington and NYC photographing them and in turn doing a series of drawings with sumi ink, based on the photographs... When this was completed I realized that, in the more abstract intuitive work I was doing on large sheets of paper, I was trying to capture the idea of activism in the physical intensity of the process and in creating the dynamic compositions." It seems that the generating force of these works is not the demonstration itself, but rather the intensity that Ariane captures in it, which inspires her to open a new visual path that reveals her great artistic quality and the power of her gifts.This painting is part of a serie of large drawings in ink, painted very fluidly and spontaneously capturing the subject with strong and fast strokes, thick brushstrokes and the nature of ink make the paint drippings run over the surface of works that edge toward abstraction. Sumi ink on paper. 30' x 22'2" (76 x 56.5 cm)
