Paris, France
Committed, Jeanne Susplugas’ approach takes on all forms and all strategies of confinement. She pursues questioning the relationships between the individual and itself as well as with the others, while facing an obsessive and dysfunctional world. She explores different mediums - drawings, photographs, installations, sculp- ture, sounds, films - as many languages that enrich one to another to create a singular aesthetic, attractive in appearance, moreover quickly disturbing and creaky. A multifaceted, transversal work, very coherent and precise that places the viewer in front of contradictory sensations - troubled and reassured, worried and serene. Her work has been widely shown in France and abroad. Monographic exhibitions have been dedicated to her in places such as the Emily Harvey Foundation in NY, Maréchalerie Art center in Versailles, Musée du Sart Tillman in Liège, Centre d’art Le Lait in Albi, Magacin gallery in Belgrade, Ardénome in Avignon, Wyspa Institut of Art in Gdansk, CAB Art center in Grenoble, Piscine-Musée d’Art & d’Industrie in Roubaix, Château de Servières in Marseille, CAC in Istres, MOCCA-Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art in Toronto, Musée Fabre in Montpellier.
