Statement

Born in Pithiviers in 1977, Emmanuelle Leblanc lives and works in the Entre-deux-Mers region.

Stemming from portrait tradition and photo-realism, Emmanuelle’s work evolves toward abstract minimalism, which tends to perpetuate the Color Field Experience practices. Thus, through her small or large canvases and sometimes, sculptural installations, the “figurative” image tends to gradually but more and more significantly disappear only to re-emerge accidentally. The delicate, profound and diffuse colour variations of her recent paintings, offer a form of atmospheric synthesis of space, of moments or images traversed by memory. The hand of the artist disappears through the surface immateriality only to bring a sensorial and meditative experience to the viewer. In search of the sublime, it is a painting, which strives to re-activate a certain notion of aura.

The artist has been exhibiting in France and abroad (Belgium, India, Italy, Germany, Holland) for some fifteen years. Her work is part of several private collections in Europe. They have been shown in galleries (Archiraar, Kalakriti, Keitelman, Xenon), at fairs (Art Paris, Galeristes, Art Rotterdam, Luxembourg Art Week), and in various curatorial projects (with Atelier Martel in 2022, the Föhn curatorial platform, Editions Multiple Un or the Artothèque de Pessac in 2019 and 2020, the Institut Courteauld as part of the East Wing Biennial in 2016, the Prix de peinture de Vitry in 2013 and 2014, Le Musée san Prisco in 2012).

Emmanuelle Leblanc regularly develops projects as a curator (Bleu Satellite, an annual contemporary art event born in Bordeaux in 2022, Les gloriettes, a program of artistic residencies in Entre-deux-Mers between 2021 and 2023 and Pleonasm, a European platform for the dissemination of contemporary artists that she co-directed between 2013 and 2017).

She is represented by Galerie Archiraar (Brussels) since 2015 and Galerie ETC. (Paris) since 2022.
Her work is referenced by the Documents d’Artistes Nouvelle Aquitaine network since 2021.
