Sylvie Fanchon

Sylvie Fanchon's painting remained faithful to radical means and intentions, in accordance with a series of previously fixed rules: two-tone colour scheme, flatness of the surface, absence of depth and extremely schematic forms. Fanchon worked with forms drawn from the world around us which, once decontextualised, are difficult to identify. Deceptively simple, Sylvie Fanchon's works exploited the ambiguity of their subjects, leaving room for a multiplicity of interpretations. Her painting was not conceived as a technique for reproducing the visible, but rather as a practice that explores the different modes of visibility of the real.
