The Artwork:

"Josephine e le Chimere Ordinarie" is a series of works on paper, which illustrate my vision of the Tarot of Marseille. Joséphine, an intrepid and curious child, silently walks through each of these maps that lead her to discover the magical world of our chimeras.

This work is part of a diptych, as displayed in the last image of the gallery. The other work is titled "Arcano III - L'Imperatrice" and can be purchased separately.

Please note: Given its size, this artwork is sold without a frame.

The Artist:

Cécile Guicheteau, 1974 Cholet (FR), is a contemporary artist. After graduating in art from the Pivaut institute in Nantes, for years she has worked in Paris as a decorator for television and collaborated with numerous galleries. In 2008 she published "Tortueuse Fantasy", with Michel Archimbaud, author of the last interviews with Francis Bacon. She has carried out several exhibitions abroad: Italy, USA, Canada, Japan and the Grand Palais in Paris. In 2016 she completed a permanent exhibition at the Di Tucheng Museum in China after spending 45 days there for an artistic residence. In 2017/2018 she exhibited at the Torre dos Cielos gallery in Japan and later won the UNESCO Open-Air Museum project (2019) in Praiano, on the Amalfi Coast. Her works are present in museums and private collections.
She says about herself: I don't try to be a witness of my time, I don't try to comment on anything, the universe that I express is part of my inner world, stuff of writing or legends. All this comes through me and ends up on the canvas together with my experiences.
