Sophie KAO ARYA, artiste franco-thaïlandaise, vit et travaille en France. Depuis quelques années, elle multiplie également les workshops en Asie. En 2001, elle invente une technique picturale dynamique qui explore les formes fractales. Sa technique imite non pas les formes de la nature mais le processus naturel lui-même qui génère automatiquement des formes géométriques (Black Cracklings, Vulcano et Blue Celeste). Entre automatisme et spontanéité, elle compose avec les fractales des tableaux oniriques et donne une lecture nouvelle de la peinture naturaliste. Et à travers ce procédé inédit, elle développe une esthétique singulière et une lecture du végétal contemporaines, en lien avec les préoccupations environnementales de l’époque.

Sophie KAO ARYA is a French and Thai artist who lives and works in France. For several years now she has been doing exhibitions in Asia. In 2001 she invented a dynamic pictorial technique which explores fractal shapes. Her technique imitates not the shapes of nature but the natural process itself that automatically generates geometric shapes (Black Cracklings, Vulcano and Blue Celeste). Between automatism and spontaneity, she composes dreamlike paintings with the fractals and gives a new reading of naturalist painting. And through this innovative process, she develops a singular aesthetique and a contemporary understanding of plants, connected to the environmental concerns of our time.
