About me
Liliwenn come from "the end of the world", transatlantic border, where the earth finishes her way to dive into the sea. To describe her, one word : paradox. Because everything is opposites and contrasts.
She collaborates with some artists from different countries as Solo One (UK), Indigo (CA).. and with musiciens as Mattic (US - Wax Tailor crew & The Others), Berry Weight (CA, Switzerland, DA) ... etc... Her work has been published in quite a few magazines and websites (Juxpatoz mag, Wooster Collective, etc...) and she has recently be commissioned by her town to create a fresco project for an entire building. Hungry of discoveries and of sharing, she had pleasure to be involved in art urban events as Mutate Britain (London), Upfest (Bristol) & VitryJam (Paris) and to exhibit her work in different countries as London, Bristol, Ipswitch, Paris/Vitry, Brest and soon in Ibiza and Wisconsin.
The definition we can give to her work is paradoxes and contrasts. At a time tortured & utopic, bustling & serene.. Contraries currents who tangle themselves between darkness and light, in them telling us the crux of our being.. instinct and emotions. Oniric, poetic with a surrealist tendency, from this artistic universe which evolves by the thread of her inspirations, her art is in perpetual mutation.
FRENCH VERSION :
Liliwenn est une artiste originaire du bout du monde, barrière transatlantique là où les terres sachèvent.
Pour la définir, un seul mot : paradoxe, car tout n est que contrastes et contraires. Paradoxes et contrastes que l on retrouve dans son art, à la fois torturé et utopique, mouvementé et serein.. assurément résilient.
Inclassable sous une forme précise car ce n est pas la forme qui l intéresse mais le fond. Des courants contraires qui s enchevètrent entre ténébres et lumières, racontant à leur façon l essentiel de nos êtres, l instinct, lémotion.
Onirique, poétique à tendance surréaliste, de cet univers artistique évoluant au fil de ses inspirations, son art est en perpétuelle mutation.
