Escaped body (2018) Digital Arts by Catherine Clare

I am a painter, textile designer, sculptor, who became a professional in 2001. I trained at the School of Fine Arts in Aix-en-Provence, and I am a student of Vincent Bouilles. I made myself known in my studio/gallery in Paris Bastille during 7 years. I created the "Nymphéas" scarf for the Marmottan Monet Museum. I have been living in the Basque Country since 2005 where I create commissions for individuals and professionals of the Basque coast.
Close to nature, I paint a projection of my dreamlike and poetic imagination, inspired by my travels: Los Angeles, NY, Rio de Janeiro, Madras, Tangier, Manila, Lisbon, Istanbul. I transpose into painting the images that inhabit me. The ones that call to me have kept their mystery in memory of the places, moments and people that have marked my life.
Influenced by street art, Pop Art of the 60s and German expressionism: Frantz Marc, Kirchner, Munch... My practice is eclectic, I experiment with stencils, various materials, paintings, sculptures, ceramics. My terracotta sculptures and ceramics are complementary to my paintings.
Imaginary or visionary figuration is closer to the singular arts, from the "outsiders" to mediumistic art. The artist's investment in his work is classified towards intellectuality, essence, the inner work is oriented towards the projective, onirism, poetry, lyricism. The aspect of communication via the signified is inscribed in a symbolic narrative whether allegorical, metaphorical or analytical.
