About/News

SBBoursot is a multidisciplinary artist based in the Cote d'Or of Burgundy, France. 

She has always had a talent for art, that she has and continues to augment with much enjoyed experimentation and courses.  Now  in a position to devote her time to her art, she has exhibited in juried exhibitions in Paris and London and won the Prix Fusain at Art-Sciences-Lettres in spring 2022.

As subjects she is attracted to interpreting people and animals, and the intimate moments, experiences, emotions or situations they find themselves in, presenting a version of the reality through loose and energetic strokes, blurring edges.   She draws on her life experiences and travels, for a commentary on aspects of life.   

Charcoal is a current favourite medium as she enjoys its qualities allowing her to manipulate it in a similar way to paint, conveying meaning or emotion with a few gestures, with the drama of the monochrome.  She uses charcoal on paper and canvas, allowing each support to influence the effects created, sometimes adding paint, with an increasing desire to go beyond what is normally expected from charcoal art.

Her sculptures are developed intuitively, allowing an artistic freedom compared to her figurative works, but also commenting on life,  aging and abandonment.
