Biography<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Vidya Gastaldon was born in 1974 in Besan\u00e7on. She lives and works in Grange Neuve (Ain), France. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With her mystical, fantastical and extremely vivid approach to art, Vidya Gastaldon develops a sort of harmonisation of qualities both spiritual and physical. Allergic to any attempt to control and restrain her universe, she delivers a cosmic overview combining Hindi divinities, Muppet-Show characters and Christian references. Her work, reminiscent of artists such as Turner, Burchfield, Blake or Bunuel, is extremely multi faced and deals with the divine, the hallucinatory but also with everyday life. In a mixture of sacred, sensual, tongue-in-cheek and sometimes provocative creations, she manages to establish a connection between \u201cbeing\u201d and \u201cmeant to be\u201d. She engenders new beliefs, and by means of negative and positive impulses she pushes social unconsciousness out of the way, liberating our collective thought of the predefined egregores that oblige us to keep reproducing spiritual and social patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her work is part of the following collections: Frac Normandie, Rouen; Wilhelm Hack Museum, Ludwigshafen am Rhein; Mus\u00e9e des Beaux-Arts, Brest; Fonds Municipal d\u2019Art Contemporain, Geneva; Jenisch Museum, Vevey; Kunst Museum Bern; CNAP, Centre national des arts plastiques, Paris; Collection R\u00e9gion Pi\u00e9mont, Turin; Kadist Art Foundation, Paris; MAMCO, Geneva; Mus\u00e9e National d\u2019Art Moderne \u2013 Centre Pompidou, Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selected solo exhibitions: Oc\u00e9an sentimental, Centre d’Art Contemporain Les Capucins, Embrun (2022); J’aurais voulu qu’on s’aime tous, Wilde, Gen\u00e8ve (2020), Objets peints au feu de bois, Art : Concept, Paris (2019); Push the earth with your knees, the sky with your head, Art B\u00e4rtschi & Cie, Geneva (2017); Les Rescap\u00e9s, Mus\u00e9e de l\u2019Abbaye Sainte-Croix, Les Sables d\u2019Olonne; Hello From the Other Side, Art : Concept, Paris (2016); Tu es Monstrueux et je t\u2019aime beaucoup, MAMCO, Geneva (2012); Domaine de Kerguehennec, Bignan (2009), among others. In 2019 her work was part of the group exhibition \u2018Futur, ancien, fugitif\u2019 at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
