CARAN D’ACHE COLLABORATES WITH THE FRANCO-SWISS ARTIST, ANAÏS COULON, FOR THE SECOND TIME TO PRESENT “DREAMSCAPE” – A FUN AND POETIC INSTALLATION.
From the 16 of November, Anaïs Coulon will once again set up stall in the Espace Créatif Caran d’Ache, located at Plateforme 10, with “DREAMSCAPE”, an anamorphic installation. An adaptation of this anamorphosis can also be seen in the Caran d’Ache showcase at Bern station.
When the artist Anaïs Coulon looks at nature, she retains the essential shapes and dominant colours. She purifies, draws out structural outlines, energises the different shades and distils it all into its simplest expression to create an abstract world that is an idealised reflection of the real world. Her creations invite you to dive eyes first into this magnified and dreamlike setting.
Continuing her work on landscapes, Anaïs Coulon offers us an ultra-colourful version of an Alpine vista. Inspired by the new Colour Treasure collection from Caran d’Ache and by its emblematic rainbow, the artist breaks out the colours and scatters them across a three-dimensional setting.
In one of the arches of the Espace Créatif, you can discover an installation based on the principle of anamorphosis. Anaïs Coulon invites us to find the ideal position to discover her unique viewpoint. Will you succeed?
In one of the other arches, you will be plunged into the very heart of the magical and vibrant world of the colours of the rainbow through a winter setting and a mural stretching from floor to ceiling – all the better for you to really dive in. The two arches, located at the edge of the Espace Créatif, are connected to one another by rainbows in warm and cool shades that pave the way between the mural and the anamorphosis.
This fun and poetic installation offers a sense of wonder and pause for thought.
And what if the real treasure were simply in the nature all around us?
DREAMSCAPE will be on show from 16 November at the Espace Créatif Caran d’Ache, located at Plateforme 10, Place de la Gare 16, 1003 Lausanne.
ABOUT ANAÏS COULON
Anaïs Coulon grew up in a family of artists with a colourful, Bohemian atmosphere that still influences her work today. A graduate of the Geneva Haute école d'art et de design, she soon began working as a graphic designer, experimenting with numerous projects in a range of fields, both private and cultural. Over time, she developed a poetic language at the crossroads of graphic art and illustration. Often inspired by nature, her visuals alternate between luxuriance and minimalism, fostering a certain contemplation. Curious and a jack (or jill) of all trades, she explores a range of different creative media and has recently produced works with paint and ceramics.
