AUDE MOUILLOT - TROPIQUES 93_6

This work is from the Tropiques 93 series. This bridge is a link between urban constructions and nature, but also, symbolically, a link between two worlds: the tranquility of a suburban area and the noise and speed of a road and commercial zone. Born in 1979, she lives and works at the edge of the world opposite a beach – Plougonvelin, Finistère North. Graduated with a Bac Arts Applied in 1997, she did not pursue formal artistic studies and turned toward social work. But drawing and painting practice caught up with her and in 2019 she decided to devote most of her time to her artistic practice. Always drawn to what one does not want to see—urban landscapes, industrial wastelands—she began by painting series of paintings mainly in acrylic. Colorful urban landscapes where nature intermingles. Recently, her artistic practice has diversified into model making and other three-dimensional objects, as well as photography and sound recording. My artistic work plunges into the heart of landscapes, whether shaped by human hands or left to the evolution of nature. The observation I make after various research and on-site landscape encounters: the landscape is always shaped by human hands, but it is also a construction in its representation in art: the invention of perspective shapes our gaze toward the landscape. My artistic approach questions the relationship between man and his environment. How do human technical abilities transform a natural landscape? How does nature develop without intervention? What is our physical, intimate connection to these places? How does our gaze apprehend these spaces? My work is built in series, around geographic points, identified by their GPS coordinates. Each work is a sensory reconstruction of the place, where I collect clues – colors, shapes, geometries, natural elements, sound atmospheres – to convey a global vision of these landscapes and the atmosphere felt on site. I employ various techniques, materials, substances for this: paintings, drawings, modeling, photography, screen printing, watercolors. "The situational visuals are AI visualizations based on photographs of the real object. The photographs of the real object are the reference." Canvas sent rolled in a tube without a frame.
