Head of studio at the Beaux-Arts de Paris since 2015, Nathalie Talec is a sculptor, painter, video artist, photographer and musician. A performance artist, she works on the question of the extreme.

Fascinated since childhood by the polar expeditions of explorers, nourished by Paul-Emile Victor's journeys and writers' accounts of snow and cold, she draws inspiration from them in her work.

Album à colorier 4

Submitted by florence_cazillac on Fri 27/01/2023 - 14:23

This colouring book is based on 24 works by Claude Closky, artist and head of the Beaux-Arts de Paris studio since 2005.

 

Born in 1963, Claude Closky observes, reclassifies, combines, accumulates, cuts out, assembles, glues, draws, photographs... the infraordinary.

 

From the simplest drawings - made with a biro and a sheet of paper - to video, photography, collage, painting or audio supports, but also publishing or websites, it is with a great eclecticism of means that he creates shifts and grips the mechanisms that are too well oiled.
