Artist

Marie Jacotey

French

Marie Jacotey draws inspiration from human interactions and the expression of emotions in various contexts, including architecture, landscape, and environment. Her paintings examine details such as wallpaper, furniture, clothes, patterns, patinas, and textures. Despite using manual techniques such as painting on plaster and dust sheets, making pencil drawings, using soft pastel on Japanese paper, and sewing fabrics, her pieces incorporate perspectives that allude to the realm of film, slow-motion, and the photographer's viewpoint. Jacotey's practice focuses more on lyrical expression rather than political commentary, featuring stylized visuals that tell personal, diary-like stories about relatable situations, sexuality, everyday relationships, and the female body. Her work conveys a narrative through accompanying fragments of text sourced from various places, including books by Henry Miller and snippets of conversations overheard in cafes or between friends. She also borrows imagery from Instagram, which is particularly noteworthy given the platform's role in shaping and reflecting how women experience and portray their lives online. ...
