Artist sculptor, visual artist and draughtswoman Sandrine Follère’s work focuses on the notion of the subject inscribing itself in the primary place that is the inhabited space of her body, questioning its form, origin, intimate geographies, memories and limits. The figurative line of the body/memory represents a point of departure; it gives a direction, an outline and inscribes the form in a reflexive continuity. Organic lines/threads/meridians connect the body’s constituent elements, opening up geometric spaces and creating a new geography, redefining the body as a symbolic representation inscribed in a visual space defined by the limits of the line that rectifies its organization, its meaning.
She is currently reflecting on the meaning of women’s lineage, matrix memory, transmission, inscribed in a personal, family and intergenerational culture. Sandrine Follère comes from a transmission that is part of the school of independent figurative sculpture born with Rodin, Bourdelle and Maillol, and whose lineage is rich with several generations of sculptors.
She has lived and worked in Toulouse since 2005. She teaches visual arts at her studio and at ISAE as part of Supaero’s Arts and Cultures training.
