COURSE and ARTISTIC APPROACH

 

Anne de Villeméjane is a French artist living in New York City. Her work explores femininity: she creates delicate, reclining, and silent women. Their poses are reflective, pensive, and even preoccupied. The talented French sculptor depicts women from the perspective of their inner lives, as her works go beyond portraiture to reach the very essence of femininity. Her work has been transformed, as the figures previously seen in her paintings have found new life in sculpture.

Cast in bronze or constructed in cement, they have found their true expression, because their three-dimensional physicality has given them a new existence.

Despite their slender form, their presence takes on weight, and their surfaces expose a heterogeneous materiality as well as a multitude of abstract traces.

As they move around them, the figures access our reality and give us a glimpse of their own. The threshold between their world and ours becomes tenuous.

Anne de Villeméjane's works are exhibited in major galleries and exhibitions in the United States, Europe, and the Middle East.
