Île
2022
Françoise PETROVTICH
Painting
120 x 160
Here, in "Île", Françoise Pétrovitch uses the technique of wash, which she describes as “a practice of navigation”. Between vaporous stains and clear lines, with visual effects relying on the drying time of the inks used, she materializes on paper the relationship with time passing, with the fragility of the moment, which then appears both eternal and floating, like the forests of her islands.
Born in 1964 in Chambéry, France.
Lives and works in Cachan and Verneuil-sur-Avre, France.
After attending the workshops of the École Normale Supérieure of Cachan, Françoise Pétrovitch has taught engraving at the École Estienne in Paris since the late 1980s. Her work spans many techniques: drawing, painting, ceramics, wash, printmaking, and video. In her unique and ambiguous works, the artist plays with the boundaries between childhood and adulthood, human and animal, presence and absence.
