The in­between worlds and fabulous worlds of Odilon Redon, which he develops on the surface of the canvas, exist in Schlumberger’s paintings between the layers in the depths. They emerge on the canvas as swirls of colour, dark spots, sharp­edged elevations, pale shadows, hints of hidden facial features. Hidden and yet visible, they lead a life of their own between the layers of the paintings, waiting to be recognised and brought to life by the gaze of the viewer: Everything is interconnected, nothing exists in a vacuum.
