Anne Cazaubon

I am what I call a "Journartist" (Both a Journalist and an artist). My whole personal quest is around "expression". I started to learn Sign language at a very young age, even though nobody was deaf in my family. I was very interested by the silent world and the invisible one. So I became an interpret, but very soon, realised that I was muting myself that way. So I switched for radio journalism and tv directing, doing news reports, documentaries about soldiers, invisible wounds, ancient priests, midwives...

As a huge storm. I cannot say that "this is my hand" which is painting my canvas.Those faces come as naturally on my painting.

-Figure-toi !-
Exposition du 12 au 14 Juin 2015 - Atelier Fond de Cour (10e) - Paris-France

Portes ouvertes des Ateliers du 10ème arrondissement de Paris



Présentation des premières toiles de la série "Figure-toi!", série de portraits à l'huile et au couteau.

Pour prolonger l'invitation à la reflexion (dans tous les sens du terme!) les toiles sont accrochées au milieu d'un mur de miroirs. Entre ces visages peints et ceux des visiteurs qui se reflètent, c'est un véritable "mur à facettes" qui se créée.

Oser se regarder en face, tout en se plongeant dans les regards de ces portraits... qui en disent long.

'Zone de turbulences'
24-25 Mai 2014 - Les Frigos de Paris (13e)- France

Halfway between installation and exhibition, the faces of the turbulence series are invited in a music studio. A confined space, a windowless room with no way out. The walls are caulked. No sound can escape.
Microphones are stretched toward the paintings. Eyes speak volumes. But the cries are internal. Silence is heavy and air is missing.
Fortunately, paillettes showers happen to illuminate f...
