ANNE-MARIE VESCO

Born in 1957 in Grenoble (France), Anne-Marie Vesco lives and works in Montreuil, a suburb of Paris. Graduated from the Ecole Normale Supérieure (ENS) of Cachan dept of Fine and Applied arts, from 1995 to 2011, she taught at Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d'Art (ENSAAMA) in Paris. She has been an independent artist since 2011. Anne-Marie Vesco's works are in several private collections (in Europe, Japan, Lebanon, China…) and in Public Contemporary Collections of Montreuil (2003 purchase) and Fontenay-sous-Bois (2009 purchase), in France. Anne-Marie Vesco’s series Nothing and its Opposite (Rien et son Contraire), started in 2012, is comprised of small objects picked up by chance along the way or discovered at flea markets. There is an on-going dialogue between these and her drawings and paintings.Captured under transparent resin, her collections of objects no longer reflections but the things themselves are infinitely poetic, by this work she has created a bridge between Contemporary visual and Outsider - singular art. Her contribution to the arts (theatre, music and dance), has been considerable.
