Agathe de Bailliencourt is a French artist born in Paris in 1974. She currently lives and works in Berlin.

Accepting imperfection Accepting imperfection and impermanence is key to understanding her work. She utilizes disorder, spontaneity and urgency to attain a freedom untainted by reasoning and restraint. Agathe's drawings and paintings are built spontaneously upon the process of leaving marks - scribbles, doodles and large bursts of primary colours.

Over the years, Agathe has endeavoured to expand beyond her initial framed medium of paper or canvas. She embraces the idea of working spaces, and being out of a frame. The resulting installations often give an impression to grow as a continuum with no end.

For the Singapore Biennale 2006, she painted on the entire surface of a three dimensional space, achieving a new sense of freedom. In 2007, commissioned by the French cultural center in Indonesia, she painted directly on a crossroad in Yogyakarta. In Berlin, she made "La vie en rose", a giant pink painting installation in the courtyard of a building in Neukoeln. In 2008, She was part of the "Intrude Art & Life" project with the Shanghai Zendai Museum of Modern Art in China. Most recently in 2009, Agathe was invited by the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo to paint an installation for "Roppongi Art Night".

For the past two years she also has created installations with light, projecting drawings directly on buildings, like on the IZH Building or the Berliner Dom in Berlin.

Agathe's work is represented by Galerie Catherine et Andre Hug in Paris and Taksu Gallery in Singapore and Malaysia.
