Relief Amovible Eléonore Deshayes

Born in 1992, Eléonore Deshayes is a French artist who lives and works around Lille (France)

The planarity of her works is reminiscent of Japanese prints, whose poetry underlines their purity, drawing the viewer into her own feelings about the artist’s nostalgia. Her visual materials come from her own travel photographs, from which she extracts the elements needed to compose a new landscape tinged with melancholy. The use of photographic materials encourages depth and the exploration of successive visual layers, superimposed in graphic stages. The colors, frank and soft, bring an element of uncertainty through their coulures. In this way, Eléonore Deshayes questions the desired stopping of time in the recomposition of memory, like a perpetual movement impossible to grasp. The result is a questioning of the very landscape that welcomes us, whose existence has meaning only in the eyes of the beholder, delineating its points of interest as well as its finitude.

These magical landscapes are meticulously drawn in ink on transparent board. First Jury Prize winner at the 2017 Canson Art School Awards, the artist graduated from Strasbourg’s Haute École des Arts du Rhin in 2016.
