Visual artist Odile Guichard has developed a unique technique that allows her to give substance to her painting. She brings her animal portraits or representations of iconic everyday objects to life from the canvas, combining them with threads that create the texture of her creations. An extension of plumage, hair, or fabric, among other materials, thread becomes, when combined with paint, a new artistic language. It comes to life in arabesques, twists joyfully, bristles in all directions, stretches or languishes to tell a story, bring out a personality, and give soul to a forgotten piece of furniture.Thread, in each painting, also represents, in filigree, the thread of time passing and the thread that connects. A unique three-dimensional experience.

Odile Guichard was born in 1969. She lives and works in Rochefort.
