Born in 1975, Angélique Lecaille lives and works in Rennes, in a shared collective studio called Les Agités.
Her research and work focus on the dynamics of landscapes and the upheaval of natural elements caused by human activity. She explores these issues primarily through graphite drawings, executed on very large scales.
Angélique Lecaille’s works are marked by a dual absence : first, that of the human figure, and second, that of color, thereby focusing attention on the components of a liminal landscape and opening a threshold between the imaginary and the experience of reality.
The artist also bridges the space of drawing with that of sculpture through assemblages and transformations of natural elements collected from specific sites. In this way, she creates a tension between the figurative and the real, invoking matter as a witness to the transformative power of our environments. The articulation of representation through drawing and materiality through sculpture thus produces a form of mimesis that questions our ability to recognize the forces at work.
Since 2001, her work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions, such as at the Pontmain Contemporary Art Center, the La Graineterie Art Center in Houille, and the Saint-Brieuc Museum of Art and History. She has been represented by the Mélanie Rio Gallery since 2012 and has exhibited her work at art fairs and exhibitions both in France and abroad. Her work is included in public collections (FRAC Bretagne; Artothèque de Nantes; …) and private collections.
