Lives and works in Lausanne

 

Coindet occupies a position on the scene of French contemporary sculpture : somewhere between minimal and farcical sculpture, abstract and virtual, sophisticated and artisanal, in brief, according to the art critic Vincent Pécoil, a sort of « anti-academic » sculpture.


From her independent preparatory drawings, she has effectively developed a creative process, which conditions their realisation in three dimensions. She elaborates from synthetic drawings, designed to be transformed on differing scales in animating a particular space, rendering them in materials and colours which will infuse them with an idea or feeling other than that of the objects already represented. These drawings are entrusted in another body of material, which ensure its execution. Shifting, but also metamorphosing, the first being that of its realisation. Alexia Fabre
