Sur un air de violoniste, 2022

Christiane Guerry  

Timeless and informal in painting and sculpture. Obsessive too: Born, Growing, Aging, Dying and reborn… Born in Grenoble into a family of artists, the first subjects she drew from the age of 5 concerned those around her. At 6 years old, she went into a coma, she came back with an imagination populated by strange characters. Her creations are the reflection of lived moments, the unspoken of families, her rebellions… After having "worked" with Mercédès Henry who nicknamed her "the painter of colors", she locks herself in her creations with her solitude. She left Grenoble in 1988 to go to Dijon then a year later to Nice where she currently lives. In 1989, Clairette Dudda, seduced by her style, wrote her a very nice article. Colorist, she works the impasto with a knife as well as the crossed brushes. Until 2002, she painted in oils which she abandoned in favor of acrylic because her lungs no longer supported the essences of oil. Solitary and alone in her creativity, she plays with the real to approach the unreal and reinvent it in her own way. His wish, to leave his imprint in this Life to play with Death by becoming Eternal through his works.
