Delphine Dénéréaz
Artist/Craftsman Villedieu / France
0
Delphine Dénéréaz grew up in a rural environment. After graduating in Textile Design (La Cambre), she turned to fibre art, embracing a traditional technique from the Middle Ages: lirette. By adapting this method to metal or wooden supports, she broke free from the limitations of the tool and took tapestry beyond its strictly decorative role.
On the threshold between craftsmanship and magic, his hyper-colourful works draw on ancestral and popular knowledge. What is usually relegated to the margins and the home invades the symbols of late capitalism.
Since 2017, her work has been exhibited at Villa Noailles (Hyères, Toulon), Friche Belle de Mai, La Traverse, Marsatac Festival (Marseille), Le Consulat (Paris), Galerie Slika (Lyon) and Fenaa Al Awwal Cultural Centre in Saudi Arabia. Since 2020, she has been invited to several residencies, notably in France, Chile and Nigeria.
