Shibari by Asa (2012) Painting by Edith Bos Boyer (EDITH DONC)

Edith Donc, born in Hyères in 1978, lives and works in France.

It is difficult to attribute to her a single artistic style, because her work is characterized by a great diversity of techniques and supports. She uses oil, acrylic, gouache as well as ink, chalk, pen, and paints on surfaces as varied as the ground, wood or even toilet paper!

Self-taught at the beginning and then graduated from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Liège in 2005 with a degree in monumental painting, Edith Donc stands out with a work that is apparently diverse but deeply coherent, comparable to a mycelial network. She develops her singular creations where instinct and reflection mingle with a sensitive and intuitive exploration of reality. Throughout her creative cycles, like a true artistic chameleon, the artist deepens her research, revealing hidden layers of her personality: thus there is no desire to fit into an established artistic tradition.

We can nevertheless notice some recurring elements in his work:
- A mixture of genres: she combines different techniques and materials, which gives her works a very contemporary and sometimes even a little raw look.
- An energetic and spontaneous gesture: reminiscent of the impatient child, capturing an evanescent thought.
- Committed realism: Edith Donc is particularly interested in nature, humans and their emotions. Her portraits are often marked by great sensitivity and a critical eye.
- A social and political dimension: her works often address themes linked to consumer society, the media, health, etc. She does not hesitate to take a stand and denounce certain practices.

Edith Donc never stops searching, digging, exploring her environment. The artist develops a unique universe, and her work described as a pictorial holobiont, reveals a complex and interconnected vision of the world.
