LES OUBLIÉS - PICASSO BRASSAÏ BOUDOT - Anaïs Boudot
Anaïs Boudot's work has always been inscribed in a dialectic of light and shadow, the visible and the invisible, with glass as her preferred material, whose transparencies and opacities she plays with, underlining its potential ambiguities. This time, she works with glass plates from the 1920s-30s-40s, found at her parents' home, portraits of anonymous women photographed head-on, whose obscure presence she transforms. Transforming the tradition of vernacular portraiture into a richly formal artistic pursuit, her aesthetic approach sublimates women with a clear intention to rehabilitate, where her illustrious predecessors, Brassaï and Picasso, exploited the feminine as a motif in the service of plastic research on the glass plate.
