GAUTIER Marie Madeleine biography | artworks | events

Gautier was born in France in 1956 and studied in the school of Fine Arts in Paris.


Gautier believes in the language of the body, being convinced that the shape of the body has a strong expressive power, and all her work is based on this idea. She represents calm and peaceful personages, shown most of the time in an every day life attitude. Her works are sincere, full of sensitiveness, and absolutely poetic. She extends the shapes, represents her personages with a little tiny head, creates some sculptures with extreme feminine forms full of curves and sensual shapes...


Gautier creates mainly feminine personages, very round and very "fertile" and yet light because she likes to represent them in extended shape, long and graceful. She prefers the smooth texture, which together with the round shapes, invite the spectator to touch the sculptors and stroke them.


The artists with whom we can compare Gautier works are the greatest sculptors from this century: Giacometti for her long and stretched personages and Henry Moore for the smooth and round aspect.
