Inspiration: In The Acrobat, Corinne Tichadou summons a dreamlike and theatrical universe, on the borders of dream and myth. The scene, bathed in a dull light, puts two enigmatic figures in tension: on the left, a figure dressed in an ornamental costume rides a red-hued fish, holding a mask or mirror with a human face. On the right, an androgynous and hieratic figure in balance, dressed in white, holds a long stem horizontally, as if to maintain a fragile link with the other world. The whole thing is bathed in a cosmic atmosphere: a ringed planet and a floating creature reinforce the interstellar, even interdimensional, dimension of the scene. The dark background accentuates the theatricality of this silent encounter, as if suspended in time.
Tichadou breathes a symbolist breath into this work where the body, the mask, the animal and the space respond to each other in a silent narration. The Acrobat evokes at once the poetry of the circus, ancient rituals and a floating quest for identity, in a painting that seems to escape all gravity.

Corinne Tichadou
France
Corinne Tichadou is a female painter working and living in Beziers, Southern France. Her painting is contemporary, figurative, mythological, biblical, allegorical and contemplative. It weaves links between the past and the present. Through mythology, tales, theatre, opera, biblical stories and her love for Italian Renaissance painting, she seeks timelessness as a philosophy. She paints the human being and questions it about its relationship to the world: to love, to family, to its courage, to its destiny, to its place in society.
