Aurélia Jaubert
Born in 1967, lives and works in Paris, France
From her first paintings composed of colored mortars incorporating collages of her own photographs to her recent tapestries, Aurélia Jaubert has been fascinated by the metamorphosis of images, their passage from one medium to another, and the illusions they engender. She has gradually left the traditional surface of painting for heterogeneous compositions; a kind of utopian mixture to reflect the historical crises of representation. She favors mixing and diversion: painting, textiles, photography, digital images, collage, sewing, sculpture, sound and music, and light. To ennoble the remains, to be interested in the slightest of nature (reflections, bubbles, shadows, traces...) and reinsert them into a cycle of metamorphoses that erase the metamorphoses that erase the value of use and reinstate an unexpected aesthetic value.
These are as much the gestures of a collector as those of an artist who always remains faithful to the image.
Dreaming about the fantastic destiny of small accidents or objects of everyday life, smudges stains, drips, colored debris, decommissioned magnetic tapes, old swimming pool buoys, fabric samples... So many modern ruins from which Jaubert, herbalist of the asphalt, attempts to reinvent through elegant, surprising, bizarre, and unprecedented imagery.
