AMÉLIE DUCOMMUN
Amélie Ducommun, Melody of memories #4, 2024, Mixed media on canvas, 110 x 162 cm.
ABOUT
Combining original techniques with poetry, the gestural paintings of
French-Swiss artist Amélie Ducommun (b. 1983) plunge into personal
memories, drawing on nature, water, or other natural references which
the artist layers onto surfaces, often using found plants, wood, or other
materials, becoming an ode to grandiose spectacles and to the natural
elements that surround us. Following her inaugural participation in
Salutation, the artist was included in the gallery’s group show Making
the Landscape in Autumn 2024.
Amélie Ducommun graduated from Les Arts Décoratifs, Paris (E.N.S.A.D.)
and the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona. Following her studies, she
passed the “Académie des Beaux Arts” competition to represent
French painting in Spain for two years at the Casa de Velázquez. In 2011,
she was selected for a residency at the Miró Foundation in Mallorca,
Spain. She has exhibited with several galleries worldwide, and has
participated in numerous international art fairs.
Her work was recently exhibited in a solo show at the Muxart
Contemporary Art Center, Martorell, Spain.
The artist has been represented by GOWEN since 2024.
