Marie (2021) Painting by Cindy Le Boucher

A visual arts teacher, Cindy Le Boucher, 42, is a visual artist who confronts materiality. In her early days, she was particularly fond of metal and made sculptures that contrasted the coldness of matter with the softness of poetry. For this, she draws her inspiration mainly from the writings of the German poet Hölderlin.

When she arrived in Guadeloupe in 2006, she became interested in Caribbean culture and mainly experimented with painting. His favorite themes are: the body and pain. How can the body carry a message? How can the body reveal our inner faith?

This work towards interiority continues on the occasion of the Festival Cri de Femmes in 2015. The opportunity for her to experiment with photography as an almost “sensory” means of expression. The photo is no longer the representation or illustration of reality, it reveals the "invisible" by revealing deformed bodies, uttering silent cries.

2018 will mark the return to painting with, in particular, a series of triptychs and a desire to bring out the poetic dimension of painting. How is the motif an access to the subtle?
