Chantal de Grasse des Princes d'Antibes

France

Chantal de Grasse, degree in drawing from the Beaux Arts de Wavre, with honors, and training in artistic ceramics

"I have always drawn to feel, to understand. After a devastating illness, the body—my own body—became a place of both fragility and insubordination. It is in this context that gesture, line, and form have become even more essential.

In this series, which I call "Presences in Filigree," I seek less to represent than to listen. The body is both figure and echo: it speaks quietly, but it says everything. I focus on silent postures, lines of tension, areas of shadow—what the eye only grasps slowly and empathetically.

Each drawing is in fact a trace of presence: that of the model, of course, but also mine, intimate, vulnerable, crossed by emotions that I prefer to keep silent otherwise.
