artist/ SOPHIE JOUVE

France

For several years, Sophie JOUVE worked with fused glass flat, or even in relief or blown. This allowed him to explore the paradox between materiality and transparency.
Subsequently, it needed a lighter, more flexible, more modular support. So she chose paper. All her works are made on 100% cotton papers which, as a result, can sometimes seem to have been painted on fabric. These papers of various textures (tea towels, rough, soft, fine or satin) offer a different visual aspect but also a different touch. “It’s a great chance for an artist to have a tactile relationship with his works. I like liquids to escape, to escape me. I don’t try to control them, I let the material and my imagination live. What happens is the result of a desired chance. Universes are born, created in a poetic, liquid and colorful world.”
