Dommage Fromage

Amandine Urruty - Dommage Fromage
Somewhere between Hieronymus Bosch and Roald Dahl, Amandine Urruty's frescoes picture a particularly rich wonderland inhabited by anthropomorphic animals. A graphite virtuoso, Urruty uses sfumato technique with abundant details to form her baroque & bubblegum universe.
Published following the eponymous exhibition at Arts Factory, Paris from June 10 to July 19, 2014.
Amandine Urruty lives and works on her bed, with a suit case full of pens always nearby. After studying at University for long years and a brief career in underground music, Amandine Urruty spreads her repertoire of beasts and her gallery of weird characters on all kind of mediums, on paper as on walls. As she masters techniques of traditional drawing, Amandine Urruty offers us a cheerful gallery of deviant portraits, associating grotesque outfits with baroque decorum which miraculously reconcile lovers of alchemistic symbolism to young ladies with too much make up. Indeed, Amandine Urruty builds her images like we would wander in the alleys of a Sunday fee market, borrowing to the mass of objects and to second hand toys their fundamental ambivalence, being wicked and peaceful, decorative and saturated at the same time.
