Anne-Lise Coste
(*1973 in Marignane near Marseille, France) studied in Marseille and in Zurich, after which she was based in New York, and now lives in Sète (South of France). Her drawings and texts have the immediacy of graffiti, and allow her to express subjective moods mixed with political criticism and literary sentences. With a dada-influenced language and intensely lyrical images, her work exudes irony, rebellion and emotion. She creates seemingly decorative compositions that actually offer us a catalogue of contemporary anxieties, where the immediacy of the gesture of drawing combines a strong poetic sense with an element of social critique. Her work is in the collections of many public and corporate collection, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, MACBA, Barcelona; FRAC des Pays de la Loire; Swiss National Bank; Deutsche Bank and in many private collections in Europe and the USA. She had numerous solo exhibitions recently amongst others at the Dortmunder Kunstverein, the CRAC in Sète and the Salomon Fondation in Annecy.
