Chaperon Martine | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Martine Chaperon's inspiration comes from the great masters such as Michelangelo, Rodin, Camille Claudel and Egon Schiele. For over four decades, she has explored the human body with constant intensity, never tiring of this inexhaustible subject. Her technique, which combines acrylic, chalk, charcoal and ink, enables her to play with lines and stains to bring out powerful, expressive bodies. Martine avoids faces, preferring to let the body do the talking. Each work is the fruit of controlled spontaneity, in which the artist lets her emotions guide her gestures, always driven by the passion to continue discovering and creating.
