Françoise PETROVTICH
Works on paper
160 x 120 cm
Since themiddle of the 1990s Françoise Pétrovitch has used an artistic vocabulary basedon adolescence, childhood or, by extension, stories and their symbols, less bydesire to discuss the "subject" than to challenge the"genre".
These figures of girl and boys, which we find in a recurring way in the workson paper, are archetypes from throughout history. They are figures in action inso many universal actions. From one work to the next, these simply genderedarchetypes (male/female) are ultimately interchangeable.
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.
