N°22 : Fashion Week (2012) Painting by Michelle Auboiron

Michelle Auboiron, a contemporary French painter, completed her education at the "Ecole Nationale des Arts Appliqués" in Paris in 1965 and later at the "Ecole Boule" in Paris in 1967. Initially, she dedicated 15 years to the fields of Architecture and Design before making a pivotal shift in focus towards painting.

Over the last four decades, Michelle Auboiron has been immersed in creating direct and "in situ" painting series, consistently exploring Architecture and structures as her central and recurring theme. Known for her ability to be in direct contact with events or instantaneous emotions, she skillfully recreates the vivid play of light and atmosphere. Her artistic approach involves complete immersion in everyday reality, absorbing influences from the streets, newspaper headlines, and the architecture of the towns and places she encounters. Accumulating information from various angles, she then spontaneously "zooms in," capturing the essence of the moment. The resulting work reflects a blend of muscularity and sensitivity, harmonizing the essence of the figurative with the vigor of the abstract.

Michelle Auboiron often opts to produce series within a short timeframe, a deliberate choice aimed at capturing the ephemeral nature of emotions and light. Her unique "Polaroid gaze" approach brings forth artworks that reflect the dynamic interplay between the tangible and the abstract, showcasing her distinctive artistic vision.
