Born in 1954 in the southwest of France, Christine Béglet lives and works in Toulouse. A graduate of the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Toulouse, she has developed since the 1990s a distinctive body of work centered on collage.
The smallest fragment, the tiniest piece of paper houses, buildings cut out by the hundreds, fragmented and broken apart, become the touches of color, the pigments of her palette with which she composes her work. She does not structure her compositions in advance; from the chaos of accumulated images, everything unfolds rapidly in a kind of frenzy. Harmony emerges on its own, as she lets herself be guided by color, acting simply as the director of a parallel world.
Her collages are silent narratives seeking a balance between chaos and harmony, fragmentation and unity, between the insignificant and the essential. She reconstructs her reality from small fragments, from seemingly trivial elements, where the least one can do is say nothing - simply let it be seen, allowing for a unique resonance with others.
