Agathe Bouton
Power Station: modernist urban architectural collage on monoprint in red, framed

2023

About the Item

This framed work is one-of-a-kind colored pencil & collage on archival pigment print. The work itself is 20" x 16", and it is framed to 26" x 20" in a contemporary, simple white wood frame under plexi. These pieces work particularly well as a series -- I will combine shipping for multiple purchases for your savings. This is part of Agathe Bouton’s latest works in her "Habitat and Urban Matter" series reminiscent of the aesthetic of Le Corbusier, and inspired by the straight lines of modernist architecture and hard-edged geometrical forms of the urban environment. Bouton (Paris, France; Philadelphia, PA) demonstrates her deep engagement with ever-evolving ideas about the built environment by her continued working and re-working of her Habitat and Urban Matter series. In her latest series of industrial structures, Bouton introduces vivid color, layered patterning, unexpected syncopations, and contrasting texture into the stacked geometries and regularized rhythms of her factories, power stations, villas, and sheds. Although these constructions appear in isolation and without inhabitants, they are alive with visual energy. These are not imaginary or arbitrary spaces, but spaces that carry the artist’s personal experience with them – they have been remembered as lived (and loved) environments for family connection; they have been habitually visited on repeated walks and drives; they have been carefully studied and thoughtfully re-created. The intimate connection that Bouton shares with her subject matter is reflected in a new attention to hand-embellishment with collaged elements and colored pencil markings, heightening the artist’s presence in each work. In this new series, Bouton’s constructions become sanctuaries, bringing together the artist’s concerns with form, space, and life. Agathe Bouton (b. 1969), is a French artist based in the Philadelphia area, is renowned for her innovative approach to printmaking and paper works, which reflect her experiences in diverse international cities. Graduating with a BFA in Painting and Printmaking and later earning an MFA in Arts and Textile Design both from the esteemed ESSAA Duperré in Paris, France, Bouton's journey has taken her across continents. Over the past 20 years, she has called various cultural hubs home, including Paris, London, Philadelphia, Rangoon, Dakar, and Istanbul, where she both lived and exhibited her art. Bouton's solo exhibitions have been exhibited at venues such as the Biennale de l'Art Africa Contemporain in Dakar; the Centre d' Arts Plastiques Albert Chanot in Clamart and the Galerie Martine Namy-Caulier in Paris, France; Galerie Od'A in Istanbul, Turkey; River Gallery in Yangon, Myanmar; the Bettie Morton Gallery in London, UK; and Zurcher Gallery in New York.
