Evelyne Huet is a French artist who lives and works in Paris. She is a mathematician by training, a discipline that she chose for its ”infinitely dreamlike dimension” and that she taught for many years at university (Université Paris 1 – Panthéon Sorbonne, and then Université Paris 7). She is also a longtime student of anthropology.
At the same time of all this she was attending the Grande Chaumière atelier in Montparnasse, Paris, where she studied under the painter ARTOZOUL. As a member of the OpenArtCode group of international artists based in Florence, Italy, her work is regularly shown in solo and group exhibitions around the world, notably in the United States. In 2019, Huet was made a Sociétaire of the Salon d’Automne.
Her themes cover the entire spectrum of the universal human condition/comedy, with its joys, its torments, its recourse to myth and religion, its battles and its carnage. Added to this are her “figures“, all major in her eyes, for what they say about our collective history and her own.
She paints on a touch screen, with her finger and without a stylus, letting her creations come to her with nothing decided in advance. They all speak of the Giants and Mutants that we all are to varying degrees, without distinction of gender, geographical location, culture, anything. The raw outlines of faces and figures are also reminiscent of tribal arts.
Her digital images are printed in various formats, in Brussels with a Diasec® finish (Museum Quality), or in New York, in limited editions of three, signed and numbered.
The French art writer Christian Noorbergen devoted a monograph to her work, “Visages d’Immensité (Figures of Immensity)”. This book was published by Editions Lelivredart, in a bilingual French/English version. With an introductory text by American art historian and writer Robert C. Morgan.
