Description:
Anouk’s botanical work is partly inspired by her family history as well as her collection of French botanical vintage postcards. She is fascinated by the duality that seems to exist between the cheerful inscriptions inside the postcards and the nostalgia of the black and white lifeless flower arrangements depicted. In this series of work, Anouk tries to push the limits of beauty until it becomes slightly unnerving or uncanny. Her work is titled by these inscriptions, so the title of this print of roses, ‘Sinceres Amites', can be translated as 'Best Wishes'.
After studying at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Paris, Anouk went on to read Art and Visual Culture at UWE, Bristol. In 2008 she won the Innes Wilkin Art in Architecture Prize and since has gone on to exhibit in a number of group shows including exhibitions at the RWA, Spike Island and the Bristol Drawing School. In June 2011 Anouk had her first solo exhibition at La Galerie, Clamecy, France.
