Description:

"Obsolescence" (2019) by Audrey Néron is a profound exploration of texture, color, and form, seamlessly integrating acrylic, pastel, and graphite on canvas board. This work, part of Néron’s Abstract Series, captures the inevitable passage of time and the beauty found in decay.

At the heart of the composition is a spiral form, reminiscent of both geological layers and technological circuits. This spiral symbolizes the once-new elements that have since eroded or become obsolete, inviting viewers to explore its intricate layers and the hidden depths within.

Néron’s color palette is carefully chosen, with cool tones of blue, green, and gray forming the foundation. These are punctuated by flashes of red and pink, suggesting that beneath the surface, life and energy persist. This contrast between cool and warm hues heightens the tension between vitality and obsolescence, echoing the artwork’s theme.

The texture of "Obsolescence" is as captivating as its color scheme. The thick, almost sculptural application of acrylic contrasts with the delicate graphite lines and pastel smudges, creating a tactile surface that invites close examination. These textural layers serve as a visual metaphor for the accumulation of history and experience, underscoring the theme of gradual decay.

Upon closer inspection, the intersections between mediums—where graphite slices through acrylic layers and pastel blends into the background—reveal the true narrative of the piece. It’s a story of material interaction and the marks left by time.

"Obsolescence" encourages reflection on the transient nature of innovation and the relentless march of time. Through her thoughtful composition and skillful use of mixed media, Néron captures the elegance in decay and the new meanings that emerge as things lose their original purpose. This piece is a poignant reminder that, even as objects fade, they continue to tell their story in a different, yet equally meaningful way.

Audrey Néron masterfully blends abstraction with representation in "Obsolescence," creating a work that is both visually striking and intellectually engaging. This artwork resonates on multiple levels, drawing the viewer into a contemplation of both the materiality of the piece and the broader concepts it evokes.
