"Claude Buraglio makes images out of other images. Borrowed images, which she takes from erotic or popular magazines from the 1930s. Images that are also suggested: far from contenting herself with a simple reworking, a pure game of relocation, the artist cuts out, reframes, lithographs, changes the scale, parcels out... these operations are all ways of bringing these images into the realm of art. Not only because these gestures are those of the painter, but also because, working in this way, she suddenly reveals the odalisque beneath the prostitute, the dead bullfighter behind the knockout boxer. Claude Buraglio takes violent or obscene images as his starting point, the better to conjure up, through his work as an artist, the bruised body into a sublimated body. There can be no art without the body. Lots will be available for collection by appointment on Monday 22 September 2025, in Paris, 75001 (Métro Les Halles or Bourse). [The exact address will be communicated to you after full payment of the slip, when the appointment is made].
