AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Vanity comprising embroidery, wool, ribbons, plastic...
Mounted on mat board.
Unique piece, signed on the back.
She discovers painting under the auspices of Kandinsky (Centre Georges Pompidou, 1979).
She leaves school and a provincial, philistine family milieu. She settles in the South, living on small “jobs.”
Back in the Paris region, she trains in photography, which leads her to join the Opale photo agency, where her collection of writers’ photographs is held.
She continues this work for a considerable number of publishing houses (Fayard, etc.), until in 2004 she is offered, first to work full-time then part-time, as the sole photographer for authors of Gallimard editions (where she also photographed works by painters for catalogues — Cocteau, Dali, Picasso, Pincemin, Pignon-Ernest, etc.), which she leaves in 2016, also leaving Paris to settle on the Norman coast (Seine-Maritime) and devote herself only to painting (and its derivatives).
This photographer’s work will have permanently interrupted her personal artistic creation.
She had made in 2001 the acquaintance of Jacques Clerc (editor and artist) and Henri Maccheroni (painter and photographer) thanks to whom she exhibited at the Mentoux-Gignac gallery, Paris, in the Third Arrondissement, once with them, then alone a second time, before the gallery closed.
She subsequently exhibited in several places, Paris, Nice, Rouen at the Duchoze gallery, and this up to the discovery of the possibilities offered by online galleries (Artmajeur).
Her modern artists of choice, numerous: Dado, Saura, Staël, Tapiès, Bourgeois, Pollock, Grau-Garriga, Joan Mitchell, Annette Messager, Rebeyrolle, etc.
Her painting work yielded a catalog for the Duchoze gallery, published by the “Rencontres: des lieux, des artistes, Agglomération de Rouen.”
The photographic work on Parisian cemeteries has led to several publications and studies; in the mainstream press (Télérama, etc.) as well as in specialized journals (Ligeia, special issue “Photography as vector,” analyzed by philosopher Jean-Louis Déotte, etc.).
In 2022 she pursued training in classical hand embroidery. She then creates “textile works” as well as weavings using recovered and thrifted materials. She also creates art assemblages, staging found objects, plant matter, bones, etc.
She now dedicates herself entirely to her work.
