La Main, 2019

Fanny Gosse  

After his studies at the Fine Arts of Toulouse and some trips around the world, the painter Jean Attali took him under his wing. Her great freedom of creation, whether in the use of color or objects diverted, allowed her to gain confidence in her and open herself to plasticity. She then joined the studio of Jean-Paul Marcheschi, from whom she was the assistant for a few years. The monumental works on which he works, the requirement he imposes and his great rigor, have this time taught him to theorize and reflect on his series in a more constructed way, whether on form or meaning. Then in 2010, she met the painter, writer and architect Henri Gaudin with whom she collaborated for 12 years.

All these meetings were of great wealth to him. From a human point of view of course, but also in his practice that has constantly evolved. Although painting and photography are at the heart of her work, she also uses objects, writing, video or any material that allows creation. She does not particularly have a favorite subject but likes to observe the banal, the everyday, moments that may seem trivial or uninteresting. It transforms them, puts forward certain details so that what we think we know, what we pass before each day without really paying attention to it, takes a new dimension, a poetry, that the familiar surprises us.

Today, she works alone but she is a member of the Action hybride collective in which she thrives thanks to the diversity of their views, the proliferation of their exchanges and the many projects they carry together.
