The work of Carole Vanderlinden is an expedition color, forms, planes, rhythm and patterns. She is a real painter, who tries to understand the nature of the material of a painter: a support, the paint and the brushwork. Reality is just something with surrounds her from which she filters elements that can feed her work. A fragment of a painting from art history, the texture of a piece of wood, a flower etc. Never will the painting be seen as something that copies somethings from reality. The painting is not a surface on which parts of reality are copied, it is a surface which is a window that opens up to other sensibilities.
