ELISE OUDIN GILLES
In each of these works there is a common denominator: the birds-eye view of an urban jungle. The beauty of these cities lies in the lens through which we perceive and envision them. Each composition immerses the observer in a heightened awareness of scale that defines the space, oscillating between grandiosity of expansiveness and the intimacy of confinement. In these large-scale photographs, I strive to elevate the ordinary to the extraordinary, inviting viewers to reconsider the familiar. I am driven by the desire to challenge the boundaries between reality and seemingly its imaginary one.
BIOGRAPHY
She has designed and created stained glass windows for the Saint-Martin d’Argentine chapel in Dordogne and for the Saint Maclou church in Conflans-Sainte-Honorine [2015]. Companies regularly commission her works. These bring to life the walls of a Parisian hotel, the Marseille law firm BBLM & Associés, the headquarters of La Poste and other public companies such as Toit et Joie in Paris. Individuals also commission her paintings, which often include personal messages. Elise Oudin Gilles commits herself body and soul to each challenge. She is an artist in motion, turned towards the aftermath. Her work feeds on the ephemeral, signs and contemporary realities. Her art can be light, existentialist. In her image.
