Clémence Devienne questions what painting can still achieve today: not capturing an appearance, but making visible an intense emotional state, scattered thoughts, a struggle. Through her painting, she explores the extreme emotional intensities that often shape multiple identities. Her painting is haunted by the theme of madness and its representation. On these canvases, her artistic gesture is lively, impulsive, vibrant, and the brushstrokes are often raw. She has a direct relationship with the material.
