Antoine Langenieux-Villard

(b 1991, France. Lives and works in Paris)

Langenieux-Villard's series-based work combines a range of techniques. By studying restored doors; garages and windows through photography; she closely examines the process of deconstruction and repair; the residues and traces of these processes to form the starting point for subsequent works. “My practice is a constant investigation;” she says; “I question the foundation of the support by playing with and disrupting the tension and materiality of the surface. I think of painting as a mode of construction.”
