Biography
“Matter is always what I start with, a mass of images. Hands on, the confrontation begins between her and me ... ”Film editor Isabelle Marliac signs one of her first works by reworking still images taken from a film by Marcel Nakache. A series of Digigraphies, (Fine Art prints) that she exhibits in Paris. The odyssey of the series "Faces" is the theme of a second exhibition. In pencil and charcoal, she draws portraits of women. "In movement, trapped in photographic colors ... impossible portraits ... of virtual women". With the series “Encres & Transparences” the more hieratic portraits are revelations that the layers of inks hide. “This time the time is vertical, layer after layer I scratch the materials like an archaeologist. The "digital" light lets the first gesture show through, the first inscription: the drawing. " In "Territories" she makes us discover strange landscapes. “I undertook a work of observations. Head to the stars, eyes wide open to my field of vision. From an imaginary North and at a different angle or azimuth, each time I transcribed the screen of my consciousness ”. A 50-page book magnifies this last work, embellished with poetic texts, mini-stories of impressions that she delivers to us according to the images, in these “territories” where she invites us to join her. Techniques: plastic photographs, photographs, scanners of drawings and materials, inks, pigments, acrylic, previously prepared then worked and assembled digitally. Fine Art Prints, or Photographic Prints. Limited editions.
