Fabienne Verdier
In 2022, the Musée Camille Claudel dedicated an exhibition to Fabienne Verdier. For the event, the artist created a stained-glass window titled Forces Tourbillonnaires (Swirling Forces) as a tribute to Camille Claudel's Waltz; it has since been integrated into the permanent collection. Her 2018 series of stained-glass windows, Topographies imaginaires (Imaginary Topographies), is on view in the museum’s auditorium.
A French artist, Fabienne Verdier trained in painting under Chinese masters in the 1980s. After a ten-year apprenticeship, she returned to the West and developed her own pictorial language. On vast, colorful canvases, she seeks the energy and vibration of simple signs and forms, traced using custom-made brushes and tools that engage her entire body. Her paintings are now held in the collections of some of the most prestigious museums, and her work is regularly exhibited internationally.
