Artist Statement
Work from the solo show "Lux, an atmospheric abstraction", Galerie Lacroix, Paris.
This exhibition is an allusion to the journey of light through the universe, to the origin of life, referring to the creation of matter. Deschamps builds here her very own cosmogony.
The frames of the paintings are exclusively round or squares. The round tondos are the Mothers and the squares are the Spotlights. The oil paint coats the supports as slicks.
In the Spotlight series the squared frames depict the disc as a subject. The various degrees of remoteness and the various surrounding colour slicks describe the journey of light through the universe.

Artist Profile
Hometown: Paris
Based in: Paris
Anne Juliette Deschamps works in Paris, France.
After a 1rst cycle at the Beaux-Arts in Bourges, she graduated in scenography at the École Supérieure des Arts et Techniques in Paris. She first worked for theatre and cinema set design and props. A project called Ajee has constitued her first body of plastic work, starting in 2005. Her current artistic approach began to emerge from 2015.
She practices sculpture, painting and installation.
She questions her presence to the world with a humble gaze. Her topic is her global environnement, from the cell to the universe, through a personnal and fantasized cosmogony.
She attempts to capture the colors that the light gives us to get completely lost in them. She invites contemplation and self-forgetting, by coating her media with color slicks, as she feels englobed in her natural environemment. It’s this intention that leads her to refine her production towards mimalism.
Her work is intended to be frontal, using chromatically acidulous and formally pure vocabularies.
