About The Work
Agathe Bouton explores her ever-evolving ideas about the stacked geometries and regularized rhythms of industrial structures and the built environment in her latest works in the Habitat and Urban Matter series. Although these constructions appear in isolation and without inhabitants, they are alive with visual energy in their vivid color, layered patterning, unexpected syncopations, and contrasting texture. These are not imaginary or arbitrary spaces, but spaces that carry the artist’s personal experience with them – they have been remembered as lived (and loved) environments for family connection; they have been habitually visited on repeated walks and drives; they have been carefully studied and thoughtfully re-created. The intimate connection that Bouton shares with her subject matter is reflected in a new attention to hand-embellishment with collaged elements and colored pencil markings, heightening the artist’s presence in each work. In this new series, Bouton’s constructions become sanctuaries, bringing together the artist’s concerns with form, space, and life.
