Description
This figurative portrait explores the deconstruction of features with an assumed graphic freedom. The face stretches, guided by fluid and assured black lines. The gaze, simplified into two oval shapes, brings immediate serenity to the composition.
The technique mixes acrylic and mixed media to create subtle plays of transparency. The shades of beige and brown intertwine, bringing relief to the structure of the nose and lips.
The approach is inspired by Fauvism through its boldness and direct treatment of light. The immaculate white background accentuates the contrast and highlights the spontaneous gesture of the brush.
A handwritten signature anchors the whole at the bottom of the composition. This piece, created in 2025, plays on the balance between abstraction and human recognition. The whole ends with a dark line that emphasizes the base of the neck.
Presentation
Martine Dechavanne, otherwise known as Fauve, is a french painter born in 1955.
Entirely self taught, she developed her artistic culture through what she read and by painting or drawing. Martine started by improving her water-color technique, which she developed and perfected for 8 years. In 1997 she then experimented with different means, such as ink, acrylic or collages.
The painter Georges Roget became her mentor and taught her some final concepts. In the year 2000, she decided to dedicate herself (and her time) to her passion. Her work consists of colorful landscapes and festive portraits. Whether she depicts daily scenes or celebrations, she makes each of these moments joyful.
Inspired by the Fauvism movement, her artist name anchors her style into this movement, with each of her paintings being an ode to color and light.
Her work has been exposed all over France since 2002, the year she won the Paul Mouradian award at the "Salon d'Hiver" in Lyon.
