Lives and works in Cachan. With both lightness and gravity, Françoise Pétrovitch always takes us where one does not exepct. Proceeding most ogen in series, she reflects non the world with an incisive eye that renders major current events as if they were the dny things in life. The duality, the absence, the inaccessible indmacy, appears on the surface of the paper. Whether by pencil or brush, it is her drawings that provoke our emodons.The words, the objects, the animals, and the disturbing forms shake our habits and trouble our certaindes. They give us a glimpse of secret spaces, unavoidably disturbing and interesdng. Somewhere between tendernessand cruelty, Françoise Pétrovitch reminds us that are fragile, not far removed from the world of animals.Among her famous exhibidons we can underline Tenir debout at FRAC Alsace (2005), two solo show in Japan (2007), a big solo show in Musée de la chasse et de la nature in Paris (2011) and another one in French insdtute NYC (2012).
