Chantaléa Commin

Born in Guadeloupe in 1971, Chantaléa Commin pursued studies in Aesthetics, literature and experimental cinema at Paris I-Sorbonne. Works in national education and publishing in Paris, collaborates in artistic events since 1993 in Bagneux, a writing and filming residency in Casamance in 2005 ... Returned to Guadeloupe, Art is  her full time job with the rôle of mother, she lives by and for the visual arts. In recent years, she has exhibited in collective and solo settings.

Digging into intimate as well as collective experiences, in local or universal humus, (The process of memorizing memories being universally understood), Chantaléa Commin portrays not the past but what He has engendered. Through drawings, installations and videos, an experimental and protean practice that discovers a disenchanted world but rich in its many, in mutations but not without real foundations, plagued by the reign of profitability, where art, finally, sets itself up as a lookout!

The vertical lines, drips, organic peaks, very characteristic in his work, like a computer bug, stigmatize displeasure and its corollary, in a graphic way. Erectile positioning in the face of social stimuli, environmental alarms, such as the nails of revolt among the punks that the artist encountered in his underground period. Nevertheless, these "spines" are more or less soft textures, more or less "painted or fictitious" like the various policies more or less complacent with what they denounce. "Nothing is what it appears to be! "
