Marie-Ghislaine Beaucé


Born in France in 1951, I studied life drawing, sculpture, art history, interior design, painting and was involved in personal creative projects involving fabrics at the National School of Fine Arts in Nantes, western France; greatly influenced by the Bauhaus design, for this reason my work is based on abstraction; during my studies I was inspired by Catalan textile artist Grau-Garriga after visiting one of his tapestry exhibitions. Living in London since the late 1980s, I had many years of experience as a seamstress and color advisor in interior design.

Colors play a very important role in Marie-Ghislaine Beaucé's artwork; her inspiration comes from the representation of weaving techniques using bands and padded tubes of fabrics, layering abstract shapes in contrasting colors and textures, the aim being to achieve an impression of depth or relief to the ensemble and to offset the strong structural design of the background; the blurred details seek the creation of a broad and mysterious space; the skillfulness in balancing random strikes and orderly shapes in relation with each other, the tangle of dark strong and light colors aim to create a visual optical effect.
