Céline Lefèvre is a Bordeaux visual artist whose work fits in the poster artists' heritage, notably Jacques Villeglé. She develops a work built on fragmentation, superposition and matter, at the frontier between urban aesthetic and intimate exploration.
Her artistic path asserted itself around demanding plastic research: tear, recompose, make up the real to better reveal its tensions. Presented in galleries, her work keeps this raw vibration evoking the city's torn walls and surfaces marked by time.
Son style ?
Céline Lefèvre fragments the real.
She cuts it, streaks it, covers it, superposes it.
Her works play with unstable matters, assumed tears, textures seemingly in motion. Nothing is fixed. Surfaces crack, layers dialogue among themselves. There's in her work a permanent tension between what appears and what emerges.
Her universe oscillates between melancholy and play. Forms can seem soft, almost domestic, but they carry a more complex depth. Her paintings resonate with vintage design objects, creating interior scenes where urban aesthetic meets intimate atmosphere.
Ce que l’on aime chez elle ?
What strikes with Céline Lefèvre: this ability to make visible what slips away.
She doesn't seek immediate shock. She installs a sensation.
Her work doesn't shout, it murmurs - but insistently. It questions our way of looking, perceiving, rebuilding the world from fragments. Each work invites approaching, observing details, accepting beauty can be born from a tear.
