NATACHA BISARRE

“My artwork is often inspired by the sculptural aspect of the human form, but more recently my abstract work comes from a more emotive starting point, where I aim to represent how it feels to me, rather than what it looks like. My painting and photography work remain ingrained in a dance and theatre context. I suppose it’s the drama that lures me, not so much in the presentation of a theatrical performance, but in the conflicts and hardships that every performer goes through in their every day, and the constant highs and lows that they inevitably experience. The duality of the performers vulnerability and strength that they display at all times, that is what intrigues me, most probably because I experienced this first hand”

Natacha Bisarre is from Brussels. She trained as a dancer and the influence of her dance career is strongly evident in her paintings conveyed by movement and emotion on her canvases. She now lives and works in southeast London.
