Bio

Faustine Badrichani is a French artist living and working in New York.

Her work focuses on the female body and is an exploration of femininity.

Over the past ten years, Badrichani – with the exploratory mind characteristic to self-taught artists – has developed an extensive artistic practice, from sculpture (direct plaster) and works on paper, focusing on acrylic and oil paintings in the past few years

Faustine works from life, and invites models to pose in her New York studio. “ For me, painting women is a play between what is universal and what is intimate, and this exploration is endless”. The female body has always been a central figure in her practice, and she has developed different series of works around this theme, creating her own graphic universe, always using a limited palette of colors.

Faustine Badrichani is represented in France by Esther & Paul gallery, and in New York by Untitled Artspace. In June 2022, she had her first solo show in New York, « Multifaceted » at Untitled Art Space in Tribeca. In November 2022, she hd a solo show in Paris « Telle Qu’Elle », and in June 2021 she presented her series “D’abord la Mer”. Her work can be seen in group shows in New-York with various galeries / curators ( Springbreak Art Fair, The Locker Room, Insight Art Space, etc).

Artist Statement

I am interested in showing female intimacy through a female gaze, how it looks and feels, using various mediums as a way to express the complexity of femininity. In this endless exploration,my work showcases women as both fragmented identities andwholesome entities, investigating the fine frontier between theintimate and the universal..
