Marie Aimée Fattouche

Born in 1991,Marie Aimée Fattouche lives and works in Seine-Saint-Denis, France. Marie draws inspiration from her fascination with mechanics, whether mental, bodily, or environmental. From simple disruptions to breakdowns, from initial impulses to the ultimate fluidity of movement, her art navigates the space between repair and sublimation, exploring areas of uncertainty where contradictory possibilities converge. For her, each fracture, whether tangible or abstract, serves as a catalyst for profound transformation.

Imbued with her Egyptian roots, her perspective on the organization of bodies reflects Eastern perceptions of space. Through her work, she actively interrogates collective narratives and femininity while scrutinizing mechanisms of power and belief systems. Her artistic compositions offer a multitude of perspectives, both spatial and temporal, inviting the viewer to immerse themselves in a construction perpetually in motion, transcending mere representation.

Following her final MA Fine Art exhibition in 2016 (Chelsea College of Arts, London), M.A Fattouche was awarded the Mercers’ Arts Award. In 2017, as the winner of the Red Mansion Art Prize, she was invited to spend a month of residency in Beijing. In 2019, she had the honor of being among the eight artists shortlisted for the Mark Tanner Sculpture Award at Standpoint Gallery in London (the UK’s most prestigious prize for emerging artists working in sculpture). Her work has been exhibited in various institutions, including the Hock-ney Gallery (2018), and more recently at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMC+) in Saint-Étienne as part of the GLOBALISTO exhibition (June to October 2022). In January 2024, she has presented her solo exhibition NOUS INFINIR MON AMOUR at Galerie du Haut-Pavé in Paris.
