Charlotte Denamur was born in 1988 in Paris, she lives and works in Paris and Ivry-sur-Seine.
She develops a pictorial work as well abstract as figurative inscribed on formats of small dimensions through monumental works. In both cases, the support is never stretched on a chassis, so that the paint can be subject to various movements and reliefs that depend on the weight, density, fluidity of the canvas used. For small formats, it is the support that determines the dimensions and the frame, because the artist most often uses fabric coupons whose primary use is domestic, so pre-sized: pillowcases for example. With regard to large-scale pieces, it is the architecture, inhabited by colour, which plays the role of the chassis and gives a framework to the work, a framework that is often thwarted or contradicted by the artist.
Whatever the format, the creation of the work always takes place horizontally, on the ground which is protected from tarpaulins. Paintings and fabrics are embedded in colored and translucent baths that tint the support according to its absorption abilities, from which the artist proposes variations by priming or not, which will create, once the work is completed, areas of opacity or transparency. Charlotte Denamur then creates effects of creasing or rubbing, adding materials and shapes to give her composition its main lines of strength. The paintings thus created, when they fall on very large formats, mutate into installations suspended in the space of architecture, where they sometimes come to create a landscape.
