About this piece
Born in Strasbourg, France, Sylvie Lander is a highly regarded contemporary visual artist whose career explores light, colour, and spiritual abstraction. She completed her training at the prestigious École supérieure des arts décoratifs de Strasbourg, graduating in 1985 after studying under pioneering conceptual artists like Sarkis.
Lander's practice seamlessly bridges intimate studio painting and monumental public architecture. She has achieved significant cultural status in France for her large-scale public commissions, structural installations, and contemporary stained-glass cycles. Her architectural masterworks include a massive 64-panel suspended ceiling vault inside the historic Églises Saint-Laurent de Hésingue, and her celebrated installation Ex Tempore was exhibited inside the world-renowned Strasbourg Cathedral.
THE "ANGEL" SERIES & LYRICAL ABSTRACTION
Lander’s work is deeply anchored in a poetic cosmology, globally recognized for her signature thematic cycles like her acclaimed Angel Series ("Au souffle de l'ange"). Rather than relying on literal, figurative representations, Lander interprets celestial or cosmic forms through pure, fluid abstraction. Her art centres on the concept of invisible presence, breath, and transitional spaces. This piece exhibits her masterful execution of lyrical abstraction using oil on canvas, allowing for richer, more saturated layers than her works on paper. A vibrant halo of yellow, gold, and soft white arcs across a deep, atmospheric blue background, creating a celestial ring of light. Within this cosmic atmosphere, her signature motif—a floating, dark organic capsule—hovers near the top left, serving as a poignant visual anchor that represents a spiritual presence or an angel caught mid-flight.
