Fanny Stauff translated into painting, in symbolic settings, the meeting of adverse times. That of the cosmos, of nature and that of humans
The figures represented resist their reduction to the state of objects, loudly proclaim life, rear up in the face of injustice or the senseless. The volcanic reds, the color of the matrix and the blues of the ether evoke telluric powers and the clarity of transcendence. Applied with a knife and a live brush, the blacks constitute the mysterious backgrounds of the canvases. They form spaces of time from which creatures from the depths of time emerge.
Influenced as much by the strength of Roland Topor’s images as by the dreamlike depth of the works of Alfred Kubin and Odilon Redon, each of his images is a dive into a world of hybridizations. And from the altarpieces of the Middle Ages, the divine comedy of Dante or the characters in the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, Fanny Stauff retains the coexistence of parallel realities which interact with each other.
These works immerse the viewer in a world where the tender, the rebellious and the strange mingle in a visual exploration that touches the soul.
A graduate in scenography from the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris, Fanny Stauff lives and works in Paris and Aude.
-His paintings are on display until May 26 at The Chapel of Fitou.
