Compas 2 (2024) Drawing by Marlène Bonnaffé

Marlène Bonnaffé is a French painter and drawer born in 1993 in the Jura.

Since childhood, she has always loved drawing and painting, looking for the error, the flaw, the perfect mistake. At the age of 13, she ed an artist's workshop to master new artistic techniques. Reproduction bored her, she quickly tasted the joy of solitude in front of her empty canvases.

After several years of exploring drawing and figurative painting, she recently turned to abstract painting. She chose her brush; bigger, stronger, more rusty: the hedgehog. It was the tool that her father used to earn his living, and it was also the tool that caused him to lose her. His heritage lacerates his canvases, shapes them, animates them, at the same time as it hurts them.
