Virginie Le Touze was born in 1969 in Nice, where she lives and works. Videos, photographs, performances, and installations are mixed in his works on a palette of poetry, memories, quotations, allusions to black and white cinema, cabaret, music hall and love songs. Generally speaking, whatever the medium adopted, Virginie Le Touze’s work is extremely meticulous and precise. And this method implies the need to redo a large number of times, until obtaining the structural effects through which the artist proposes his universe of a poignant and distanced onirism. The themes of Virginie Le Touze’s art have the charm of the obvious, treating all registers, from the popular to the lyrical. It is the most essential things in life that drive his inspiration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”SELECTION OF WORKS”
