Fusion / deep connection Sculpture by Brigitt Fleury

Brigitt Fleury studied art at the Julian Academy, Met de Penninghen in Paris, in the heart of Saint Germain des Près in the 1960s. Upon leaving, she practiced several artistic disciplines: fashion sketches, stand creations, window design for Parisian stores. In the early 1970s, she painted murals and frescoes, and worked on the visual of a global ecological campaign for UNESCO. She illustrated the work of François Villon (56 watercolors) in art editions, and began to exhibit her drawings and paintings in galleries in the capital, then participated in sales of contemporary paintings at Drouot and Drouot Montaigne.

But it was in 1996 that she discovered a passion for sculpture and for a warm-colored clay that she sought out in Provence. His life is divided between southern Ardèche and La Défense in Paris. It evolves both in the rural world and in the megalopolis. Her work always begins with the look, tender, amused, a bit caustic that she wears around her, and nourishes her inspiration for reading and music.

With the roughness of the earth it sometimes associates the fibrous and ribbed silhouette of a wood or a jagged and rusty iron. A need to sculpt, an urgency, a desire to let his hands do the talking. She links the stages of creation with such rapidity that she sometimes wonders if it is she or the earth that decides. The sculptures are made of sandstone (provencal terracotta), fired at 1280° and reworked with oxides.

His painting is part of "the new figuration" it is rich in colors and materials. She uses a mixed technique (acrylic, oil, collages, pastels). The composition of his highly structured canvases is linked to an essential gesture in his way of painting. The first vision of his paintings is often abstract but very quickly one discovers a more or less hidden figuration.
