Claudie Gimeno

Claudie Gimeno's painting is made of paradoxes.
In the subject, she wants to show the uncovered face, the one that reveals human fragilities and vibrates with delights, fears, anger… but also the "mask-face", the one that conceals, that withdraws from the gaze of others… Finding the precarious balance between being and appearing and thus unveiling the human.
In the technique, it is the lightness of the glaze, the transparencies, that oppose the thick material applied with a knife, extremes that find harmony through layering.

Her work as a painter often references 15th-century painting, for the portraits that she then treats in her own way.

Her monotypes, created in several passes, are for her a kind of "gymnastics" since everything is done backward, in mirror, and the portraits are "freed" from the black flat by wiping the paint to recover the whites.
