Aurore Pélisson - FRANCE

“Textile artist, graduated from the École Nationale des Beaux Arts in Lyon in 2009, Aurore Pélisson moved to London, creating artistic collaborations with, among others, Saint Martin’s School of Arts. 2011 marked her return to her native Provence and the opening of a textile workshop in her name in Avignon. In search of textures, techniques and imprints reflecting her utopias, Aurore Pélisson works to make visible our intrinsic correlation with the living world. Her work is visceral; Aurore invokes organic matter to reveal another aesthetic, another style, less polished, less rectilinear. It is a vision that is in osmosis with “the flesh of our bodies, the flesh of our earth”, warm and alive. This aesthetic comes to life through natural materials on the scale of one’s own body. Her techniques refuse plastics or other toxic materials; from the beginning she has preferred to work with raw plants, using vegetable dyes. Her practice continues to evolve to become as close as possible to her purpose – an ode to the living. Take pleasure in looking at and touching the organic aspect of our world.”
