Zoé B

France  • 1968

Presentation

Zoé Bayard aka Zoé B is a French painter. Born in St Malo in 1968, she currently lives and works in Vendée.

Since her childhood, Zoé B has been creating. She starts by drawing, at first. For hours on end, she pencils and preciously keeps her numerous drawings in a drawer, you never know. It was in her teens that she took her first steps with watercolours. From then on, her taste for painting became her foundation, her pillar and her preferred means of expression.

In 1995, a personal event marked a turning point in her life as a woman. It was at this precise moment that art became her refuge, her first therapy as she says so well. At the same time, she developed a passion for psychology and for the human being. Zoé B then undertook studies in psychology and threw herself body and soul into a career as a psychoanalyst in Free Awake Dreaming. Drawn to her work, she devoted herself fully to this activity for over ten years.

Art takes a back seat. In spite of herself. And yet... painting is a passion that never really dissipates. She knows it and feels it deep inside her. Days go by and painting takes over again until it becomes more and more important. Zoé B then leads a double career and organises her first self-taught exhibitions in parallel with her psychoanalysis activities. In solo or in group exhibitions, she travels throughout France and participates in numerous shows in order to present her creations to the public. Her work has been rewarded and recognised by her peers on three occasions:

- 2020 : Prize for excellence - La Rochelle exhibition

- 2020 : First prize for painting Melusin'art- Vouvant

- 2018 : Public Prize 2018 and 2nd prize of the Jury Vent des Arts- Danvix

For ten years now, Zoé B has put art at the centre of her life. Inevitably, it has become her companion on the road, her essential.

In 2018, she took the big leap: she stopped her job to dedicate herself fully to her artistic career. Fuelled by an ever-present interest in psychology, the artist makes her universe "a vehicle for self-discovery and self-knowledge".

Her artistic approach is characterised by the alliance between the technical demands of figurative art and the free and spontaneous expression of dripping, which consists of projecting paint onto the canvas on the ground.

It is with the series "MOVEMENTS OF LIFE" that the artist becomes known at the national level in 2018. Then in 2020, his last series, "INFINITIF" opened the doors to international exhibitions with the presentation of his works by the galleries Art Trope and Art4You in Taiwan, Germany and Denmark.
