French contemporary artist Marie-Ange Daudé creates one-of-a-kind suspended artworks. A long-time admirer of Soulages, Daudé’s universe appears as deep and mysterious as the painter’s nuances of black. “In mural artworks relief is what captures light, and that is an essential aspect. This relief is what enables the play of lights with the dark in Soulages’ paintings”. However Marie-Ange uses a completely different technique, one she developped by herself after trying out various materials. Her delicate portraits are made of meticously chosen feathers later dyed in different nuances and nylon threads. The artist draws inspiration from vintage photographs to reproduce them in her signature style.
Ultimately it feels like Marie-Ange’s women figures levitate in their wooden box.
