Born in 1982, she lives and works in Marseille. Represented by the Espace à vendre gallery in Nice since 2005.
Karine Rougier's drawings reinvent a nature where human forms intertwine with animal forms, where bodies and invisible forces unite in a captivating embrace. Watercolor washes on paper flow over the forms, much like a receding tide, leaving behind only a few details, a few lines to which our gaze clings.
Infused with a powerful life force, her compositions are the result of an emancipated perspective that breathes desire and strength into the bodies. Karine Rougier began her studies at the Geneva School of Decorative Arts and continued at the Higher School of Art in Aix-en-Provence. She has been teaching at the Fine Arts of Marseille since 2018 and represented Malta at the Venice Biennale in 2017.
