Artist Recognition

The impermanence of time and mortality is a notion that can be found several times in the artist’s work. Some of her paintings allude to portraits of bygone eras that she places in a new context, using a contemporary technique. This reappropriation convokes the story and emphasizes the ephemeral character of each life through a particular technique of superposition of transparent layers (collage of fine paper and acrylic paint). The fly, subtitle of this painting, was a small piece of black taffeta, velvet or silk. Instrument of seduction at the court of Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI, it was arranged on the face or neckline and reflected the personality of the person who wore it according to the place where it was placed. The character stands out against a dark and abstract background from which emerge some traces of floral motifs engraved in the painting. The sides are painted in the continuity of the canvas.

She is a french artist, born in Paris (France). She currently lives and works in Montargis, near Paris. Both realistic and dreamlike, Cécile Duchêne Malissin’s painting implies some introspection. Characters or animals are shown in abstract settings or lush vegetation. Her works exude a powerful attraction and conveys reverie. They are bushy, free, imaginative compositions and a poetic and singular universe. Her portraits express a meditative abandonment and the richness of an inner life. Childhood, is also tackled and evokes the loss of innocence as well as facing the brutality of the world. The viewer is caught by the serious and mysterious gaze of her characters: who observes who, in this disturbing face-to-face? Relations to nature, to oneself and to others are questioned here. Working on paper or canvas, mixing different techniques (acrylic paint, oil pastels, graphite lead, collage and sometimes sewing...), the works thus created carry in them both a delicacy but also a certain strangeness. The relationship to the body and its fragility are evoked by transparencies which is conferred by a subtle game of collages mixed with acrylic. Memory, forgetfulness, transience of existence are suggested.
