Series: Abstract
Diptych

Audrey Néron’s "The Origin of the World" is a mesmerizing diptych that explores the primal forces of creation through bold forms, vibrant colors, and dynamic movement. Rendered with a confident hand in acrylic, pastel, and spray paint, this 2018 work is a part of Néron’s Abstract Series, and it captivates with its balance of chaos and control.

The composition is an elegant interplay between swirling forms that evoke both cosmic and biological themes. The elongated verticality of the diptych draws the eye, guiding the viewer through layers of color and texture. Soft pastels—pinks, blues, and yellows—contrast sharply with bold black and gold lines, creating a tension that is both harmonious and discordant.

At the heart of the piece is a sense of fluidity and motion, as if the process of creation is unfolding in real-time. The use of spray paint introduces unpredictability, with fine mists and bold splatters adding a tactile dimension to the work. This dynamic interaction between the soft, ethereal pastels and the sharp, decisive marks of acrylic and spray paint gives the painting depth and a sense of constant flux.

The diptych format further enhances the narrative, with the two panels engaging in a dialogue that invites the viewer to contemplate the interconnectedness of all things. The title, "The Origin of the World," nods to Courbet’s iconic painting, but Néron’s interpretation is abstract and contemporary, focusing on universal themes rather than the literal.

In "The Origin of the World," Néron has created a piece that is both visually compelling and intellectually stimulating. This work is not just an exploration of color and form but a meditation on the broader questions of life, creation, and the universe, making it a standout in her Abstract Series.
