Presentation of the gallery

Since its beginnings in -1991, Galerie la Ferronnerie's vocation has been to represent artists from the very start of their careers, and to promote their work in France and abroad. NB The gallery is quoted in 'Histoire des galeries d'art en France du XIXe au XXIe' Flammarion, 2024
Brigitte Négrier the director selects artists offering drawing, painting, sculpture, installations, video, in the field of contemporary art.
Among these artists, Frédéric Coché, Richard Müller, Natasja van Kampen and, more recently, Anaïs Lelièvre, Fabrice Cazenave, Gabriel Folli and Emmy Bergsma have favored drawing-with very different approaches-from the very start of their careers.
Audrey Aumégeas' drawings, presented in focus for Drawing Now 2026, are hybrid compositions, where her fetish furniture elements intermingle and multiply, combine and reproduce themselves; her subjects: characters awaiting incarnation. The fictions are woven from the layers that Audrey Aumégeas superimposes and stacks, in one or two dimensions; the velvety quality of her deep blacks, drawn with graphite, enhances the carefully selected motifs.

Présentation de l'artiste en focus

Motifs-motif: Audrey Aumégeas compiles Motifs drawn from all kinds of magazine media, such as L'illustration-ancienne revue, old school textbooks, engraving plates and advertisements. She often reproduces them in graphite, with meticulous drawing and a velvety finish that lends a touch of nostalgia to her work. The Motif of her creations results from the staging of the various motifs she associates, creating humorous playlets by diverting objects and images from their intended use to give them an anthropomorphic dimension. In counterpoint, Jérôme Touron's colorful Motifs replay a vast repertoire of abstract forms. Then drawings on the Motif by Fabrice Cazenave and Gabriel Folli, with his composite drawings.
