Brigitte Dravet

In 2000, she received the Public Prize at the 17th Rendez-Vous des Jeunes Plasticiens in La Garde. Since then, she has exhibited regularly — notably in Miami since 2021 — and has obtained an official certification of her artist rating (€1,000), as well as a special jury prize for her body of work at the *Talents de Femmes 83* salon.

Her signature series — *Abstract Landscapes*, *Blue Lagoons*, and *Trash Walls* — reveal a pictorial language that is at once organic, alchemical, and poetic. *Abstract Landscapes* evokes mental territories made of light, oxidation, and fissures, where gold and copper emerge from the raw roughness of materials. *Blue Lagoons* explores the magic of gesture and chance: liquid pigments poured freely, the random paths of color, the interplay of rust, water, and metal — oxidation both controlled and liberated. *Trash Walls*, meanwhile, brings forth vast fragments of mural memory: plasters, stencils, mineral textures, and patinas that evoke the worn, scratched, timeworn walls of history.

Brigitte Dravet works with matter as if it were living memory. She is also deeply involved in an artistic upcycling process: she collects old shop mannequins — abandoned objects that she reimagines, transforms, and heals. “By reclaiming them, I heal a little of their wounded souls, and in return, they help me reconcile with my own body,” she confides. This same dynamic can be found in her jewelry creations, made from fragments of painted canvases, varnished and set into brass, which she transforms into bracelets, pendants, and earrings.

In all her works, Brigitte Dravet weaves an alliance between creation and restoration, between matter and light, between buried past and sensitive rebirth.
