Céline Ducrot’s works combine archetypal narratives and familiar visual motifs from art history with the social and technological insignia of our present day. Her work incorporates the element of uncertainty not as a threat, but as an openness to new strategies that can foster familiarity, care and stability.. Ducrot’s works are created using a manual airbrush technique on MDF. The airbrush she uses is a small, handheld spraying tool that transforms liquid paint into a fine mist, which is then applied to the surface. By manipulating the intensity, radius, and spray pattern, the artist is able to precisely control the mixture of acrylic paint and compressed air in her painting process. Man Ray, a leading figure of Dadaism, was a  pioneer in expanding traditional painting through this technique, experimenting with so-called aerography as early as the 1920s. Familiar encounters with herself and others, with her immediate surroundings at home or in nature, form the central starting points for Céline Ducrot’s current motifs. Ducrot’s attentive eye for paradigm shifts within our contemporary social and political reality is also rooted in her biography and in her work as an illustrator for newspapers and magazines. In her recent paintings, the protagonists develop a kind of “improvised spirituality” based on quiet actions that nevertheless follow obscure rules.
