An original creation of Beaux-Arts de Paris, this collection of Cahiers d'artistes draws on the talent of the school's artist-teachers. Each album is composed of large-format works to colour in and is introduced by an interview with an art critic. They allow readers to discover the pleasure of creation with the expertise and teaching methods unique to École des Beaux-Arts de Paris. Frédérique Loutz manipulates, blurs and distorts forms. She invites us into fantastical and phantasmagorical worlds that lend themselves to multiple interpretations. An interview with art critic Anaël Pigeat lifts the veil on the artist's work.
Born in 1974, Frédérique Loutz trained at the Beaux-Arts in Paris in the 1990s, where she now teaches. Her practice includes pencil and pen drawing, engraving, gouache and ink painting, and sculpture. Her expressive and colourful works oscillate between disturbing strangeness and childlike imagery. Through her cartoon-like assemblages at the crossroads of still life and surrealist representations, Frédérique Loutz cultivates the art of superimposition and hybridisation to rethink the meaning of objects and our relationship to the world, beyond fixed forms. She uses toys, bodies, flowers and architectural elements to create a new
narrative inspired by Greek mythology, French and Germanic tales and the circus arts.
Frédérique Loutz was a resident at the Villa Medici in 2007 and exhibits in numerous museums in France and Germany. Her works are included in the collections of the Cnap, the Centre Georges Pompidou and several FRACs.
