Presentation

Studied drawing and painting in 1962. She studied Fine Arts in Toulouse, but also took plastic arts courses in the studio of C. Schmidt and at the Augustins Museum in Toulouse.
In 1996, she decided to devote herself to painting by working during the day and painting at night.
She also studies sculpture and ceramics.

Balance and musicality

Anne Vautour switched to abstract painting after a long apprenticeship in
different technics. The result is a painting all in balance where the artist can
to avoid the pattern, to trust his sense of harmony acquired after
years of practice.
Anne Vautour did not find her current style quickly: she always wanted to paint and
she has always painted, since her adolescence. As a teenager, she took lessons, then she
reproduced masterpieces in museums, and dragged into many workshops of
Toulouse.
In short, years of work followed by the search for your own path. And there again he
had to go through stages before arriving at today's works: figurative period
for years in oil, charcoal or pastel, then transition to works
semi-figurative before abandoning the motif to enter fully into abstraction
that she has never left.
For some, this long detour through learning and past periods would not learn
great thing. For Anne Vautour, it is important because her current painting is based on this: no
particular message to convey, no favorite theme, just an impregnation of
work of the predecessors to master the harmonies of colors and the balances of
trait.
“I don't claim anything, I just try to transcribe on the canvas the impacts of the things that
have caught my gaze in everyday life, whether it is works, or scraps of works
in museums, little details in the street, or a piece of music. After, if that
holds the road, it is undoubtedly because my years of practice allowed me to know
build and balance a web ".
Anne Vautour's canvases therefore find their origin in a wide variety of things, but which
are all treated with the same control and search for balance.
These elements therefore quickly merge into a very recognizable work, without the artist
seeks to analyze these common characteristics which make that the whole constitutes a
artwork. We can only see: first, a feeling of a canvas designed in a single throw.
“It's true that I stopped the oil for the acrylic which suits me better. When
inspiration comes, it has to go fast, because the mind could move on before
that it is not completed. Acrylic lends itself well to very time-concentrated work ".
Then, a whole series of little things that, put together, the connoisseurs
can recognize an artist's work quite easily.
The palette, however varied, always includes balances of black and white; It
then includes a fairly limited range of colors on each canvas, without profusion

nothing is forbidden: collages of Japanese paper for the effects of matter,

charcoal or colored pencils, sometimes to give some calligraphy effects which
appear as an extension of the pictorial work inserted in the work itself; the
Most of the works have a main motif in the center of the canvas, itself taken in a
color which serves as an internal frame for the canvas; all the canvases find a balance such that the
canvas “holds" whatever the direction in which one looks at it. Anne Vautour paints in her
workshop by putting the canvas on the ground, directly, no top, no bottom, the brush intervenes
and the artist turns the canvas if she feels that a key is missing for reasons of balance
at a place. A balance that can only come from a great mastery of drawing, imperative
to build abstractions which hold. Gestures can be broad, both
guided by the initial inspiration, or guided by the music with which the artist works
usually in his workshop.
And finally, never a title. The artist does not wish to link the source of inspiration to the result
final. It could hinder the gaze. In each canvas, there was a starting point,
but only the artist knows it. If the canvas holds up, it means that the amateur, him, does not
needs more.
