“While drawing Nathalie Trovato is often surprised by the way accidents happen, she has kept the freedom of the child who finds drawing both playful and a very serious matter. It is a principle of belief: Nathalie Trovato knows that beauty can happen at any moment, she has the intuition and the freedom that provoke an encounter on paper between contrary feelings. As Georg Baselitz puts it “the limits of the painter are in his head”, Nathalie Trovato far from having an academic background has found in herself the ability to express a type of drawing away from the codes that usually rule it.”
Text written by Gregory Forstner (translated from the French).
Nathalie Trovato is a French artist based in Brooklyn, New York. In 2005 the French publisher Passage Piétons commissionned her to translate the text "La Suite de Cendrillon” by Guillaume Apollinaire into drawing. This was followed by a collaboration with two contemporary French writers, Sophie Braganti and Patrick Joquel who wrote "Les demains d’Al Manach” (Donner à Voir). Her work has been presented in a number of magazines such as "Utile” and "Dazibao”.She has exhibited her work at La Station (2005) and La Sous Station (2006) in Nice, Cork Printmakers, Ireland (2007), Musée des beaux-arts de Nice/Villa Arson in Nice (2009) and Muriel Guépin Gallery, Brooklyn, NY (2009).
