FEMINAIRE

The word “Feminaire” is created by Monique Wittig in her novel "Les Guérillères" to describe a kind of dictionary, or reference book, used by humans in a world where everything is feminine and pural, after feminism have triumphed.This series are Mary Autumn's personal visual interpretation of this “Feminaire”, a combination of ink drawing and painting on colored paper giving life to this utopic reality without need of words.Each work depicts characters whose bodies are loomed on paper naked, unashamed, and freed from western-centered references. The colored paper remains bare in some places, becoming a color in itself so that white is no longer the conventional neutral but a real narrative element.Here are displayed a few excerpts form this growing series.The FEMINAIRE was first exhibited at the Tram{e} art gallery in Brussels between November 7 of 2023 and January 13 of 2024.Please take contact by email for exhibition or purchase

ABOUT

Mary Autumn is a Belgian artist atypically playing with symbols and aesthetics of nature.Her drawings develop an imaginary between tradition and modernity, which is expressed both digitally and accompanied by watercolor and gouache. Her ink line, vivid and fluid, allows the precise representation of textures and intentions. The play between colors and features invites to marvel at nature as a whole.She has always been passionate about the aesthetic of nature and the way humans find symbols in it. In her eyes the world is an wide open book overflowing with secrets for whoever looks at them.It is with great interest for folklore and the History of Art that she composes images with multiple readings, and out of pleasure that she represents the living. Her work tends towards the universal, without limit of culture, species or period. She depicts a out of time utopia where humans, animals and plants would live in harmony and where each of them would have their place and their stories to tell.Graduated from ERG Art School in Brussels (2009), Mary Autumn has been developping her own techniques through various artistic projects. Since 2020 her main project has been "FEMINAIRE", a series inspired by her personnal ecofeminist convictions.
