Visual artist with multiple techniques, Ly-Rose (Rosy Chaignon) has never stopped exploring new practices in the service of painting. Since his first canvas at the age of eighteen, and the Ateliers des Beaux-Arts in drawing, painting, modeling, sculpture, it is surely his meeting with François Verdier, engraver, and the practice of engraving in size soft and direct carving, which transformed his touch and his palette, leading him to use unconventional materials such as clay mounted on canvas, marble powder, coatings... in order to practice incisions and scarifications where the paint material can "ink" the hollow, leaving a trace and an imprint, which leaves an important part to chance and accident, yet perfectly mastered.

Ly-Rose also writes, but on the web the text is secret. Entrusted to painting, it functions as a trace, a palimpsest of superimposed moments of life, an exorcism, as if desire and intention, formulated thought were drowning in color. “I say my inexpressible things there,” she says, speaking of “Mots Plées”.

Holder of a Master II in Plastic Arts from the Panthéon Sorbonne University, and associate professor of Plastic Arts, Ly-Rose now shares her life between Paris in the Belleville district, and the Marais poitevin, between Niort and La Rochelle .

More than 350 exhibitions since 1984, in France and abroad, from series to series:

Squares/folds, Folds and cryptograms, Palimpsests and skins of paint, Appearance/Disappearance, Spaces, Spaces of possibilities, Vita Brevis, Totolibobos de Belleville, Jazz, Feet and body fragments, Palaver trees, The island of danger flowers , No swimming... Trees...

The Tree has been a recurring theme since the 1980s, when Ly-Rose first saw part of the pine forest dear to her heart burn on the Atlantic Coast, then the equatorial forest, when she lived in a forest zone in Africa. But Ly-Rose's painting also speaks to us of the privatization of the islands, of water pollution, of humans running after their fantasies of wealth, of the threats that lie in wait, but also of beauty... She invents, dreams of a world and invites us to it.
