EMMA BOURGIN

Born in 1989, Emma Bourgin is a French visual artist. In 2012, she obtained her DNSEP with the congratulations of the jury of the Superior School of Arts and Media of Caen where she encountered her favorite material, beeswax. The material, its desires, its mood swings and its contradictions fascinate her. In 2013 she won the Michel Journiac Prize and obtained her first solo exhibition at the Galerie du Haut Pavé, Tentative de capture du soleil. She participated in the collective exhibition Des Artistes & des Abeilles à la Topographie de l'art in 2018.

Because these" materials-colors "act on us like sensitive “charges.” We can thus smell yellow gold (beeswax), we can hear the white silence (stone) and the pixels are the pigments of an unfinished painting in which we project ourselves. . Contact between materials. "
