About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

Acrylic

Paint using traditional pigments mixed with synthetic resins.

Pigments

Paint made with colored powder suspended in a liquid binder to obtain some paint or ink.

Outsider Art

Invented by Jean Dubuffet (1901-1985) in 1945, the idea is to create works with primitive graphics that take no academic reference into account. He will also advise to "draw like a child" and encourage self-taught artists.

Christiane Seguin is a contemporary French artist. Immersed in her artistic work, Christiane remains acutely attuned to every subtle murmur of the world that surrounds her. Her artistic process is an intimate and solitary endeavor, one that transcends confinement as she finds herself belonging to an "environment" that serves as a wellspring of inspiration.

Despite her deep commitment to art, Christiane has chosen to maintain her independence, dedicating herself to an earthly profession that nourishes her physical being, an essential crucible for the alchemy of "creation." Her journey as a geologist and teacher-researcher has taken her to universities in Africa and France, where she has delved into the captivating world of rocks and landscapes. Her profession, far from a mere occupation, is a source of fascination, carving out spaces of free time that are dedicated to the nourishment of both body and mind, nurturing a reflection that is intrinsically connected to her creative work.

Christiane's path as a geologist has been marked by curiosity, leading her down diverse and intense life trajectories. A pivotal decade spent in the vast landscapes of Africa and the immensity of the desert have etched their influence deeply into her artistic spirit.

Her dual roles as a geologist and a plastic artist are intertwined and complementary, enriching one another and providing an inexhaustible source of inspiration. This unique fusion of science and art allows Christiane to create nomadic sketches as she journeys across the planet, capturing the diverse landscapes and geological wonders that she encounters along the way.

Over the years, Christiane Seguin's artistic pursuits have found their place in numerous group exhibitions, including prestigious events like the Salon des Indépendants, Sacred Art, and Art and Matter in Paris. She has also showcased her work through personal exhibitions in various locations, from La Rochelle and Antibes in France to Aix-en-Provence, Germany, and Avignon and its surrounding regions.
