Biography

Ingrid Maillard is a French visual artist born in 1992. Very quickly, the artist choses the body as subject of study. Specializing in graphite drawing, she is particularly involved in the mannerisms she brings to her representations. By using meticulous and very precise methods, different for each collection, she manages to express the tensions and connections specific to interacting and moving bodies, by supporting her feature on the characteristic rarities of the anatomy she represents.

By applying these techniques to the service of Greek mythology, she manages to give her drawings a sacred resonance, by reinterpreting these myths in solemn scenes of life, sometimes by violent imagery, she allows a clearer understanding and no less poetic. It is in the search for new technical processes that this artist slowly develops his work, attaching itself always more to the representation of the detail, and to the particular signs of the bodies she chooses.
