AUDE MOUILLOT - ETANG 8

Sold and shipped rolled, unframed.

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

Born in 1979, she lives and works at the edge of the world opposite a beach – Plougonvelin, North Finistère.
Diploma in Applied Arts (Bac Arts Appliqués) in 1997, she did not pursue artistic studies and turned toward social care 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 one does not want to see—urban landscapes, industrial wastelands—she begins by painting series of paintings mainly in acrylic. Colorful urban landscapes where nature intermingles. Recently, her artistic practice has diversified into modeling and other 3D objects, as well as photography and sound recording.

My artistic work dives into the heart of landscapes, whether shaped by human hands or left to evolve by nature.
The observation I make after various research and in-situ landscape encounters: 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 abilities 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 geographical points identified by their GPS coordinates. Each work is a sensory reconstruction of the place, where I collect clues—colors, shapes, geometric elements, natural features, sound atmospheres—to convey a holistic vision of these landscapes and the atmosphere felt on site. I employ various techniques, media, and materials for this: paintings, drawings, modeling, photographs, screen prints, and watercolors.
