An artist’s book by Dr. Fania Bajot
Hardcover | 21 × 28 cm (A4) | 30 pages | 25 full-colour plates
Noir en Couleurs (Black in Colours) is not a survey—it is an invitation into a chromatic dialogue with darkness. Working on carbon black paper, Fania Bajot layers acrylic paint with deliberate restraint, allowing form, hue, and absence to speak in counterpoint. The resulting series explores duality not as conflict, but as coexistence: presence within void, structure within rupture, resilience within fragility.
Rooted in the legacies of abstract expressionism and existential inquiry—but filtered through a scientific sensibility—the paintings refuse easy interpretation. Instead, they propose a visual syntax where colour becomes thought, and black becomes ground, not backdrop.
This hardcover artist’s book faithfully reproduces 25 original works from the series, printed on archival-quality paper with a rigid cover designed to endure. It serves as both document and artifact within the Exotic Matter Niche Creators (EMNC) constellation—a tangible extension of material memory.
Featured paintings:
Layer of Being, The Crown, Dancing Memories, The Layers of Womanhood, Hidden Truth, Comet, Le Gardien (The Guardian), M.P.R, Constraints, Implosion, Deux Âmes (Two Souls), Ethereal Catalyst, Late Night Jazz, Carnaval de Nuit, Luminescence, Modern Absurdities, Seize the Moment, Blue Lands, Force of Sound Waves, Facing, Conflicted Man, Pour ma Mère (For my Mother), Untitled, PET Addiction.
Noir en Couleurs is presented alongside Fania B’s wearable and olfactory creations in EMNC: The Portfolio – Issue 1, a 70-page printed archive that functions as both exhibition space and philosophical compass.
