If Mathilde Denize's work starts with a feeling of dissatisfaction - the artist is constantly questioning the relevance of her figurative paintings -, it takes the jubilant form of a game of prolific construction that has the gift of transcending her initial canvases by giving them a life of their own.
Tenacious and instinctive, Mathilde Denize shapes and stages her canvases on stretchers and scraps of old work that she cuts, binds, assembles or sews, sometimes grafting fragments of materials or found objects onto them, in a constant quest for harmony.
Far from any narrative intention, Mathilde Denize creates works in volume -costumes or sculptures- or in 2D whose fragmented character leaves to appreciate an infinity of stories which live, cross themselves and dialogue in theatrical patchworks.
Eager to see her practice circulate outside of galleries and other exhibition spaces, Mathilde Denize translates for Bien Fait her meticulous work of editing and her play on the figure in digital format.
Her photographed works were cut out and reassembled with the help of Cécile Figuette.
In a delightful four-handed composition, the two creators worked on the balance, the relevance and the interplay of shapes and colors that intertwine to obtain an absolutely original setting, both in its aesthetics and in the creative process that underlies it.
Both a retrospective and a translation of the talented artist's work on a decorative scale, as well as a work in its own right, this new set embodies Bien Fait 's fundamental love of creation.
