Camille Murgue

Hybridization between plant and animal kingdom, between existence and death, Camille's work explores the zone located in dream and reality when night comes out of its den to darken the world.

Fascinated by the theme of vanity, she sensually interweaves beauty and eternal rest, bringing out the life of putrefied bodies in an arborescent debauchery with baroque and sparkling abundance. His work fleeing temporality transports us to a dreamed eternity where organic integrity gives way to phantasmagoria, myths and romanticism.

The journey to which she invites us opens windows, like skylights on life-size miniatures, snapshots at the crossroads of her obsessions.

The mineral counterpart of her subjects, the presence of finely chiseled jewelry with intricate patterns haunts the paintings she stages and illustrates the omnipresence of the female figure in her work.

Peering into the universe of the cabinet of curiosities, the variety of illustrated subjects refers to naturalistic research of the 18th and 19th centuries.

She wields pen and India ink with dexterity. His use of the point and his linework allow him to excel when it comes to representing the shadow. Adept at formats that do not exceed the size of her office, she creates works on a human scale located at the crossroads of multiple aesthetic universes.
