Overview

BOOK A STUDIO VISIT  KEEP ME UPDATED ON NEW ARTWORKS

 

Maude Sauvage is a Belgian artists currently based in Brussels who graduated from Interior Architecture (B2) CAD, Brussels (2014) and holds a bachelor in Textile Design from La Cambre (2012) and a Graphism Bachelor from Saint-Luc (2010). 
 
Maude creates an object with its matter, its color, its composition. Her research process began with felting: the shaping of the material, its inclusion in compositions and its placement in spatial context, and adding other materials as well. She progressively developed a relationship of physical and psychic dimension: from matter to form, from form to possible object.
 
« Through shapes and materials, I explore the emergence of the body. From birth on, the body is conditioned by socio-cultural, materialistic and human standards. It becomes an object of constant experimentation and negotiation, and enters in dialogue with the very environment that conditioned it. In trying to cope with this, humans are struggling in a world in unstable equilibrium. »
 
It is in this equilibrium that Maude finds that dialogue through the combination of matter-colour effects. The encounter of that dialogue begins in the process of the work and continues in its composition and installation. It creates the line, the form, the object. It shows that one element becomes dependent on another or on the contrary, it explores a new form of being. So many little conflicts of materials and colours which nourish this physical interdependence in our environment.
