Postcards - Boutique hotel Les Roches Rouges has sweeping views of the Mediterranean Sea, a sleek aesthetic and a photogenic stoned-lined pool by the surf. This effortlessly cool hideaway flirts with the fringes Fréjus, on the edge of L’Esterel National Park. A design-forward Riviera retreat that mixes Fifties and Sixties glamour with locally sourced art and furniture. From the peachy-tan glow of the breakfast terrace to the pool hewn from the rocks this hotel has photo opportunities at every turn. It was built as a motel in the late 1950s and was operating as an unassuming three-star hotel (of the same name) before being bought by hip French hotelier Valéry Grégo, and transformed into its glamorous current incarnation. Inside a De Sede DS600 sofa takes pride of place in reception, next to potted plants, a cane table and a bespoke oak front desk littered with Céramiques du Beaujolais pots and Slim Aarons tomes. Abstract finger paintings by Caroline Denervaud line the walls. Vintage furniture is by names such as Charlotte Perriand and George Nakashima. . . . .

‘cathédrale’ by Caroline Denervaud, 2017 - performance drawing.
Caroline Denervaud’s practice explores the physicality of her body. She combines drawing and performance to produce carefully considered video pieces that ponder notions of mark-making. When watching the videos we bear witness to Denervaud making sweeping, gestural dances across canvas which are evidenced on the page with a paintbrush that trace the directions of the shapes her body performs.
Denervaud’s work appears to be a playful juxtaposition of spontaneity and a feeling of control. She conducts her drawings, creating organic compositions that allude to a tension of subconscious and conscious drawing; mark making is evidenced as a physical product of the body.
I am reminded of Yves Klein’s Anthropometry paintings wherein which he used naked women as tools for mark making. Klein had the women covered in blue paint and he conducted their movements across the page, making physical impressions of their bodies as a result. Though the two practices share similarities I find Denervaud’s world to be less problematic, she is her own conductor, author and tool; there is no patriarchal hierarchy.
‘Anthropométries de l’époque bleue’ by Yves Klein, 1960 - performance painting.
I am enthused by Denervaud’s practice as a whole and enjoy the physicality of her drawings. I feel that sometimes my drawings are very limited in that my approach is a contained action that is confined to a sketchbook, I never think of it as something bigger and performative. After having said for a while now that I would like to experiment with scale, I wonder how asemic writing might translate to the scale Denervaud works with. Thus far my studies haven’t surpassed A2 size due to a combination of enjoying staying true to the size handheld nature of the book as a tactile object, and also the limitations of the printmaking presses. That being said drawing is not limited to press dimensions and so could be explored on a vast scale.

Swiss-born and Parisian-based visual and performance artist Caroline Denervaud’s art is a reflection of her studies in dance. She allows the movement of her body to determine her brush stroke as the body’s movement directly reflects mood, energy, and feelings. The art, therefore, becomes almost rhythmic. “Then come the colors that create shapes and connections between them… My paintings are the reflection of an instant, a conversation and play between colors and shapes telling hidden poems and stories.”
