AUDE MOUILLOT - ETANG 2

Sold and shipped rolled up, without a frame.

This work is part of the ETANG series.
This series stems from a photographic walk around a pond, in the Paris region with a sanitary purpose. The perspective from the viewpoint blurs the understanding of the subject, which becomes abstract.

Born in 1979, she lives and works at the end of the world facing a beach – Plougonvelin, Finistère Nord.
Graduated with a Baccalauréat in Applied Arts in 1997, she did not pursue formal artistic studies and turned to social professions. But drawing and painting practice caught up with her, and in 2019 she decided to devote most of her time to her artistic practice. Always drawn to what people do not want to see— urban landscapes, industrial wastelands— she begins by painting series of works mainly in acrylic. Colorful urban landscapes where nature intermingles. Lately, her artistic practice has diversified into sculpting and other 3D objects, as well as photography and sound recording.

My artistic work plunges into the heart of landscapes, whether they are shaped by human hands or left to the evolution of nature. The finding I make after various field research and landscape encounters experienced on site: the landscape is always shaped by human hands, but it is also a construction in its representation in art: the invention of perspective shapes our gaze toward the landscape.
My artistic approach questions the relationship between humans and their environment. How do human technical capabilities transform a natural landscape? How does nature develop without intervention? What is our physical, intimate connection to these places? How does our gaze apprehend these spaces?
My work is built in series, around geographic points identified by their GPS coordinates. Each work is a sensory reconstruction of the place, where I collect clues – colors, shapes, geometries, natural elements, sound atmospheres – to convey a global vision of these landscapes and the atmosphere felt on site. I use various techniques, materials, and media for this: paintings, drawings, sculpting, photographs, screen prints, watercolors.
