Prudence Dudan

Prudence Dudan was born in 1985 in Paris. Graduated of Arts Déco (Ensad) and Sciences Po Paris, she loves pictures, words and books. She traveled to India, then to New York where she was invited in residence for a year at the Center for Book Arts in Manhattan, an art center dedicated to the book arts.

If his work already invested the book object, the poetic perception of the world and reading in the broad sense, (reading text, image, objects, sound, but also situations and living things), it is there she begins to intervene directly on books she collects.

Back in Paris, she collaborated with magazines such as Air France Magazine or M le Monde and continued her researches. The works on which she works are like her dreams, they relate to the endless landscapes of American natural parks, the seas and oceans, the art of ikebana, bonsai, Greek or Roman statues, Italian furniture from the 1970s, kit kitchens, Mediterranean architecture, Spanish crafts or even paintings by Titian or Gustave Courbet…

Throughout the pages, paintings, drawings, pieces of photographs and fabrics come to recompose a story, lighting through form and color. She now divides her time between France (Paris, her studio is Cour de l'Industrie) and Spain (Ibiza, workshop, can Pep Simo-Sert).
