Naked Memories

RFI review by Carrie Nooten (in French), “Vous m’en direz des nouvelles”

Beyond the academic endeavour of representing the human body in its ideal state, Hélène Le Chatelier is interested in portraying the transformation of the body and the elusive nature of our lives.

She imagines a cartography of remembrance, crystallised in nudes whose contours, like our memories, are sometimes accurate, sometimes hazy.

The ink on paper technique allows her to transcend the antagonism between traditional Chinese painting and European painting.

Much like in in traditional Chinese painting, the brush leaves a void that expresses a quest for reconciliation between the infinite nature of sentiments and the physical limits of the body. Each silhouette captures a unique story and reflects the pursuit of harmony.
