Françoise Maillet

Françoise Maillet is a contemporary French artist known for her dynamic explorations of urban landscapes characterized by precarious balance and constant flux. Her artistic journey is marked by a profound thematic exploration where she constructs, deconstructs, and reconstructs cities in a perpetual state of transformation. Moving through phases from darkness to light, monochrome to color, accumulation to dilution, and evolution to adaptation, Maillet encapsulates these transitions within her evocative paintings.

In recent years, Maillet has ventured into the vibrant realm of textile art, discovering its rich potential for expression. Textile fibers, with their tactile vitality and expressive qualities, have enabled her to create enigmatic characters that resonate closely with human experiences. Employing diverse techniques such as felting, dyeing, free stitching, and embroidery, often enhanced by the addition of glass elements, Maillet orchestrates these fibers into narratives that unfold the "comedy of life."

Maillet's artistic journey is underpinned by a diverse educational background. She honed her skills at the School of Decorative Arts in Strasbourg, complemented by theater training at Cours Florent in Paris and instruction in advertising graphics.

Maillet has exhibited widely at esteemed venues such as the Taylor Foundation Gallery in Paris, RempArt Gallery in Eguisheim, Maison d'ART Gallery in Strasbourg, and internationally at venues like Galerie auf dem Land in Kehl-Odelshofen (Germany), Schwarzer Ritter Gallery in Schallstadt-Wolfenweiler (Germany), and Biennale 109 and Artcité in Paris. Her participation in prominent art fairs such as Puls'art in Le Mans, Art3f in Mulhouse, International Art Days in Endingen (Germany), Kunst Messe in Freiburg (Germany), and Franco-Art Exhibition in Freiburg underscores her acclaim and reach.
