Fabienne Verdier’s artistic quest began in 1983, when she moved to China to study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Chongqing, Sichuan. Beginning a long apprenticeship of ten years with Master Huang Yuan, it is only after having acquired full mastery of the art of traditional calligraphy that she can begin the elaboration of her own pictorial style, not without relentlessness.
Fabienne Verdier’s work is characterized by a great freedom of movement, a quest for mobility and monumentality where emptiness plays as important a role as fullness. This method comes close to the oriental philosophy of incompleteness. The aesthetics of the gesture and the conceptual refer Fabienne Verdier’s works to Chinese art but also to Western abstract expressionism, in the line of Chu Teh-Chun or Jackson Pollock.
