"You're not serious when you're 17." We know the mantra of the rebellious Rimbaud. It was at this extreme age of adolescence that Mathilde Rosier began to paint. Born in 1973 in Paris, the artist decided, at the end of her studies at the Beaux-Arts, to retire to a large building, a house that her family has owned for generations in Burgundy. From this life in an agricultural and rural environment, in the heart of the wine estates, stems his approach. Nature appears in the form of theatrical scenes, at the crossroads of tales and mythology where animals and human figures coexist. His practice embraces painting, drawing, film, costume assembly, performance... Out of time, she explores the boundary between theatre and reality, nature and culture.

After the Jeu de Paume which showed his work in 2010, the Pernod-Ricard Foundation is dedicating its first major exhibition to him in Paris. Under the title Dans les champs d'intensive prosperité, she will present a large selection of paintings, a video installation, glass creations and sculptures. Where we find this conviction that art communicates with the sensitive life, that it is the transmitter between the social body and nature. His new series revolves around hybrid bodies with plant limbs, with heads of corn cobs. The wind rushes between the cereal plants. On the program: dissolution in the living and intensity of the link between the plant and the human.
In the fields of intensive prosperity, from May 16 to July 22, at the Pernod-Ricard Foundation, in Paris. fondation-pernod-ricard.com
