Agathe Bouton

@agathebouton

Agathe is a French artist living and working in Philadelphia, USA, whose boundary-pushing printmaking and paper works exhibit influence from living and working in international cities across the globe.

Agathe makes monotypes, prints, installations, artist books, paper clothing, and paintings that play with improvisation and superimposition in their creation. Her work draws on engraving and etching techniques, and uses color that appears in different halftones, shades, and densities. Color and textiles have always had important roles in her work because they create impressions of light, people, and pigment.

Agathe interprets and interacts with the world around her through a well-honed visual language that incorporates all the continents, histories, and cultures she has experienced.
Her artwork explores themes of identity, history, humanity, of progress and of decay and deterioration – transmuting it all into beauty, serenity, story, and hue. Both the complexity and the element of chance of the techniques and process she uses; echo the themes she strives to express.

New series of digital work - Poussière d’Étoiles - Stardust in English, is inspired by my original, circular, indigo relief prints. It builds on this inspiration to illustrate the birth of a star, a new spark of life and a glimpse of hope.

Each print is an Étincelle/ Spark, in a limited edition of 10 prints, signed and numbered at the back and printed onto Hahnemuhle photo rag metallic paper, 100% cotton and 340 gsm.

BURMESE DAYS | AGATHE BOUTON

Women United ART MOVEMENT Solo Shows 2023

@agathebouton
Philadelphia, PA / United States

"THIS EXHIBITION SHOWS A RANGE OF PRINTS ON PAPERS FROM MY BURMESE DAYS SERIES, WHICH STARTED IN 2006 WHILE I WAS LIVING IN BURMA, ALSO CALLED MYANMAR.

FOR THESE PIECES, MY INSPIRATION CAME FROM THE SHAPE OF A PLEATED SKIRT, COMMON IN EASTERN SHAN STATE, WHEN IT IS LAID FLAT OR FLARED OUT IN A FULL SPIN. I EXPLORE THE BEAUTY AND MEANING OF THESE FABRICS THROUGH SOME EXQUISITE WOODCUT PRINTS.

MY PIECES HINT AT WOMEN’S LIVES LIVED WITHIN THESE PRECIOUS TEXTILES AS THEY ARE WORN, WASHED, FADED BY THE SUN, LASHED BY THE RAIN, TORN, REPAIRED AND WORN AGAIN.

MY AIM IS NEVER TO MIMIC THE FABRIC EXACTLY BUT TO REFLECT THE LIFESPAN OF A SKIRT - FROM THE INTRICACIES OF THE ORIGINAL SEWING TO THE REPAIRS, OFTEN CRUDE, THAT ADD LAYERS OF COLOUR AND INTEREST.

I WANT TO SHOW THAT THESE DEEPLY VALUED TEXTILES BEAR WITNESS TO THE LIVES OF THE WOMEN WHO GROW, PLAY, WORK, CELEBRATE AND DIE WITHIN THEM. WE ARE CHALLENGED TO IMAGINE MOMENTS OF THESE LIVES – THE SPECIAL AND THE MUNDANE.

COMBINING MONOPRINT AND WOODCUT, I PRINT BY HAND ONTO HANDMADE BURMESE AND JAPANESE PAPER AND ADD STITCHING BY HAND.

WORKS IN THE EXHIBITION ARE ALL NEW AND MADE IN 2022."
