Description
"Les Cavaliers" is part of a series inspired by Van Gogh's "Prisoners Exercising", seen at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. What struck me in Van Gogh's painting was not the confinement — it was the light. That cold, flat light falling on figures moving in circles. Here the prisoners become riders, the yard becomes open, but the light stays the same — indifferent, pressing down.

Charlotte GENSER
Art student at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris and the Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst (HGB) in Leipzig, studying under Professor Kerstin Drechsel.
Born in Paris, she studies and works between the HGB in Leipzig and the ENSAD in Paris.
In 2022, I fell in love with Leipzig and decided to set up my studio there. Since then, I have been working, studying and exhibiting between Paris and Leipzig.
There are no rules in my paintings, only things I love and am interested in. It’s about the colours and the ideas I have and develop through the process.
PROCESS
I’m always working on something new. My main focus is always on the colours. I try to capture the atmosphere.
