"Swim in the 1920's" colours

Inspired by autochromatic photographs and old postcards with swimmers, I painted some colours I composed back into fine stripes... Link to my website

CFPI exhibition in Strasbourg

Bonjour!
It's been a while since I haven't posted any news as it's been some busy months doing the CFPI course in Strasbourg! The photos of the projects made this year will soon arrive! Underneath is the poster of our group exhibition, crossing 8 artists-graphic designers practices in gallery la Chaufferie in Strasbourg.
Online information about what I have done during the course CFPI: read here!
To see photos of the space exhibition: here on Flickr, and more to come...

From September 2012 to March 2013, I am undertaking a short course, called CFPI (Centre de Formation des Plasticiens Intervenants) at Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in Strasbourg. I am doing an internship in 2 classes in Paris: at Lycee Hotelier Rabelais and ENSAAMA Olivier de Serres. Inspired by the passage about the famous "Madeleine" from Marcel Proust, I asked the first students to write a personal story with a key ingredient that would convey a strong memory and emotion. We made also portraits with the mysterious ingredient, with photographer Axelle Paysant-Le Roux. (To discover soon) The second class will analyse and translate the text into a 3D poetical and appetizing plate with mixed media techniques. Lien

Associations

Generally starting from an old photograph and an object that caught my attention, certain shapes then attract others and I act to reveal the narrative story hidden in their association... The following pictures show some pieces of work in process. Comments welcome!

Artwork: paint the colour of Time

Since June 2012, I started working on some personal artwork again. From old objects I collect, I combine shapes and photographs together, creating stories about time and space. From those beautiful postcards, I painted colour palettes... When I paint colours, it's like capturing the colour of the time. On going research, more to come...
