Soumisha Dauthel is a French painter. Beyond painting, she is dedicated to constantly renewing her supports, her techniques, and inventing new forms and formats. Since the 1990s, she has been creating assemblages of fragments of paintings to make unique artworks, playing with the boundaries between painting, sculpture, and spatial arrangement.
By moving, transposing, permuting, and combining elements from different canvases, sometimes with contradictory characteristics (colors, textures, shapes), she brings them together to create a unified whole. These abstract images provide the viewer with a direct experience of color and material.
"Each fragment of canvas corresponds to a specific moment in my life as a painter."
