ÉDITH BAUDRAND EXHIBITION | MODERNE ART FAIR 2025

23—26 OCT. 2025 / Place de la Concorde
As part of the 2025 edition of Moderne Art Fair, a curated presentation by Lumir Ardant-Leverd will feature a selection of works by Édith Baudrand, highlighting a distinctive practice that oscillates between figuration and abstraction, where the body, matter, and the living are at the heart of her artistic research.

Édith Baudrand is a visual artist and painter. Trained at the Beaux-Arts, she frequently collaborates with the film industry, recreating the works of major painters for the screen (Séraphine, At Eternity’s Gate, Bonnard, Pierre et Marthe). Alongside this work, she has been developing for several years a personal body of work focused on painting and drawing on paper, exploring the interconnections between body, material, and memory. She works with forms—often circular and organic—that become vessels for an intimate, feminine, and poetic cosmogony. Her painterly gesture reveals a vibrant inner world, at the intersection of visual reflection and the search for light.

In parallel with her work in cinema—where she has notably recreated the works of Séraphine de Senlis (Séraphine, Martin Provost, 2007), Van Gogh (At Eternity’s Gate, Julian Schnabel, 2017), and more recently Pierre Bonnard (Bonnard, Pierre et Marthe, Martin Provost, 2024)—Édith Baudrand has been developing a deeply personal artistic practice centered on paper.

Her series “Albédos,” initiated in 2020, moves away from classical techniques to explore a pictorial language rooted in water, ink, and sensory memory.

This series is part of a poetic and artistic inquiry into intimacy, fluidity, and the resonance of the living. With an approach that is both intuitive and sensory, Édith Baudrand questions the invisible forms of inner life, on the edge of dream, body, and the natural world.

In her recent works, including her first glass sculpture, Édith Baudrand continues to explore painting as a vital force—one that interrogates the visible and gives form to the invisible.
