Nathanaëlle Herbelin

The figurative works of Nathanaëlle Herbelin are marked by their deeply human character: the artist gives an important place to daily life, which she wraps in poetry and sensitivity.

Portraits of her relatives, genre scenes brought up to date, still lifes using the most contemporary objects of our daily lives or even desert landscapes are part of her personal vocabulary.

With her delicate touch, her characteristic chromatic palette reminiscent of certain frescoes, Nathanaëlle Herbelin tells intimate stories and opens up a universe in which time seems suspended, as if she wanted to show memories or sections of her memory or even construct bridges between the intimate and the social.

This bilingual French-English publication thus traces the work of the artist from her beginnings on the French and international scene to recent works, dating from 2022.

Four texts – by Emanuele Coccia, Henry-Claude Cousseau, Loïc Le Gall and Anaël Pigeat – and an interview by Guslagie Malanda with the artist punctuate the book in order to give some reading keys to his already prolific work: poetics of his painting , question of time, memory, space, landscape and its geography, light, intimacy and openness.

Nathanaëlle Herbelin, born in 1989 in Israel, lives and works in Paris. A graduate of the National School of Fine Arts in Paris (DNSAP, 2016), she was notably invited in 2015 to follow the training of the Cooper Union (New York, United States).
