Drawing with a live model, Capturing the fugitive

Maryline Genest, a French painter and graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Paris, explores in her drawings and paintings the notion of the home as a space in perpetual movement, a surge of unpredictable novelties. Her approach is part of a nomadic process, in which she moves around, listens, crosses, looks and adapts, reflecting the fluidity and movement of perceptions and lives.

Her works, imbued with the movements of the body, their gestures-inks, their fabrics-sensations, animal and plant species, play with colours and materials: paper, vegetable inks, illuminations, gouaches, oil paint on wooden logs. She develops strategies, real or fake, that invite us into dreamlike, unsettling tales.

Drawing inspiration from animal mimicry and societal dynamics, Maryline Genest highlights transmission as a vital link to others, a vehicle for personal transformation, enriching the human and creative experience.
