Biography

Delphine Gigoux-Martin is a French visual artist born in 1972.

Delphine Gigoux-Martin uses the animal figure as a fairytale. She imagines, models and designs wonderfully absurd situations. She brings together the emotional, aesthetic, symbolic of animals with their vital reality of food.

She often superimposes her drawings to different techniques: porcelain or taxidermy sculptures cast their dense immateriality shadow, in the cartoons projections light beam. Some works can be activated during dînatoires interactive performances staged by the artist.

Delphine Gigoux-Martin narrative percussion is reinforced by the formal harmony of the elegant simplicity and acute sensitivity of her work.
