Works by Joëlle Cabanne
After her artistic maturity at Voltaire College in 1997, Joëlle studied Art History and Cinema History at the University of Lausanne & Geneva. Passionate about space & construction, she continued her education in Architecture, and then finally, at the Geneva University of Art and Design, HEAD, where she obtained her Bachelor of Art degree. Joëlle currently works as an architect in Geneva, where she also pursues her artistic activity. The line and the notion of spatiality feeds her art, and vice versa. She is a co-founder of dasBureau, a studio of architecture and urbanism.

“My main source of inspiration is nature, whether it is built or natural. I am also inspired by my own experience in the fields of landscape. I have a very strong bond with nature; we are an integral part of it. As a horse rider, I have been riding in Geneva's nature reserves since I was 9. The view from the back of a horse is very different from our human vision on two feet - the gaze rises.Another dimension of my work lies in the inner landscape, the emotions that we all feel. It is necessary for me to be able to express them in a way that allows them to be released.”
“My work is multi-faceted. I systematically work on two or three series at the same time, ink and digital work. The digital work is based on photographs that I take of Swiss landscapes - mountains and lakes. I always rework the ridge line in order to disturb the eye, and thus create a landscape skewed from the truth. My ink work on canvas and paper is inspired by nature, but works more on my visceral emotions. Digital work is quite pragmatic, while pictorial work is based on emotions. The two mediums respond to each other. The ink work is composed only of shades of blue and green. This allows me to have nuances that are subtle. The digital work is in black and white for the photography, while the coloured works are pink, green and blue.
With a small palette composed of a multitude of shades, I create my own tools to paint with ink. Wooden sticks made of balsa wood help control the liquid, while also leaving the work to chance. The pattern becomes the essence of the installations. For the digital works. the same principle is used , several photographs make up a whole.
I like to propose new landscapes mixing the notion of reality 6 imagination by the photographic shooting intermingling with the sensation of a shift, a parallel universe which i named *ExtraWelt* created by the various actions on the artworks.
