HÉLÈNE DELPRAT - 1998
CIAO
Born in 1957, France. She lives and works in Paris, France.
Inspired by literature (Ovid's Metamorphoses), film and radio, Hélène Delprat's daily practice, using drawing, painting, photography, archives and video, has resulted in a body of work full of self-mockery, a kind of book of hours that is both dark and sensitive, where fiction and documentary rub shoulders. She loves the idea of a death that is funny, monstrous, outrageous, melancholy... Her real or fictional interviews, her radio drawingsand her collection of articles complete this kind of inventory of a world that is both fortuitous and deliberate. His work also explores issues of recording, memory, identity and travel.
You can find her work in her ”Mother Gallery ”, Gallerie Christophe Gaillard in Paris since 2014.
