Corinne Laroche

A postcard from CORINNE LAROCHE, sent from Paris, France. Corinne is a french artist born in 1957. A graduate of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, she lives and works in Berlin and Paris. In 2008 she was awarded the city of Saint-Ouen prize for the arts. Her work was shown in 2009 by the galleries Jordan-Seydoux (Berlin-Paris-Zürich) and Fruehsorge contemporary drawings (Berlin). Recently her works have entered the collections of the Kupferstichkabinett in Berlin, the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein Artotek and the Artothèque of Angers.

I met Corinne through the Anonymous Drawings Project, at several drawing related art openings in in Berlin, a the art fair Drawing Now in Paris, at private dinners, over coffee and cake, in our studios and elsewhere.

I admire Corinne's ability to create carefully drawn structures and systems without loosing visual lightness and ease.

Matthew Rose

A postcard from MATTHEW ROSE, sent from Paris, France. It is a tribute to the collage and correspondence artist Ray Johnson.

Matthew  is an amazing collage artist, born in the USA, living in Paris. I once visited him in Paris, together with my friends Nike and Inken. It was a memorable evening. Laughter, chicken, baked potates, red wine and music - and Matthew's art covering every cm of the  studio walls.
