  Biography of Anne Turlais

  Painter and etcher, Anne Turlais currently lives and works in Cabrerets and Saint Cirq Lapopie (Lot). She moved her workshop in this place in 2002. She not only creates etchings but also artists'books, monotypes, oils on canvases. Since 2016, she is developing a screen project called « 365 days in daily life » she whishes to share it with hospitals, jails and retirement homes.
  As an etcher, she mainly works in black and white. There is, in her work, a sense of restraint that immediately gets us to the point. It is kind of reminding us Anna-Eva Bergman's works.
  With her first exhibition (« Le Plein, le vide » inspired by François Cheng's writings) in a Parisian gallery - rue de Seine -, she discovers the Louttre B.'s work, her neighbor in the Lot. Anne Turlais feels strongly affiliated with the Czech painter Joseph Sima. She also quotes Chillida, Ubac, Matisse, Poliakoff or Vieira da Silva she met while learning etchings techniques in 1989 and 1990 at Tanguy Garric's in Paris.
  In 2006, she cooperates with the Fata Morgana Editions. Through her compositions, Anne Turlais wants the viewer to glance at their most intimous part, directly to their heart. In all of her different etchings, there is a desire to be in tune with nature. Our eye is attracted at the same time by softness and strenght, light and shade, a range of tones going from purest white to absolute black. Different aspects of the same world between dream and reality.
  Over time, the artist got involved in many personal and collective exhibitions in France and abroad (Belgium, Morrocco, Spain, Australia). Don't forget that we dedicated her an « A glance at . . . » with 12 prints.
