Nicole Bottet

Nicole BOTTET, born in Pon­toise, France in 1942, grad­u­at­ed from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1969. The cen­tral theme of her pic­to­r­i­al cre­ations is still life and the human body. In her works, the artist cap­tures the aes­thet­ics of the every­day. Prefer­ably she works with oil paints on paper and can­vas as image car­ri­er. The char­coal pen­cil and col­lage tech­niques are incor­po­rat­ed into the oil paint­ing. She adds accents of col­or to the sub­tle col­or­ful­ness of her paint­ings, which are enhanced with gold and sil­ver leaf. Since her first exhi­bi­tion in Paris in 1973, exhi­bi­tions and par­tic­i­pa­tions in exhi­bi­tions have tak­en place annu­al­ly in Euro­pean and Japan­ese gal­leries. Her works hang in the Alberti­na in Vien­na, Le Musée Olympique Lau­sanne and the Musée Jenisch Vevey in Switzer­land, the Bib­lio­thèque Nationale in Paris and the Kasama Nichi­do Muse­um in Japan, among oth­ers. Nicole Bot­tet lives and works in Paris.
1975 – first exhi­bi­tion in the gallery Welz.
