Rouge Hartley French, b. 1989

While she graduated from the Beaux-Arts of Bordeaux in 2014 with a body of work in video, performance and installation, Jessica Hartley known as Rouge Hartley, develops an obsession with drawing and painting. Her work is part of an academic approach to the medium; she paints her walls with a brush and in her observation of the real, she composes a figurative painting that could be described as romantic. Rouge Hartley is enjoying increasing success and is in a very contemporary vein.

A complete artist, Rouge Hartley is interested in the space of the city as a source of intervention and inspiration. She proposes fables whose intimacy could easily be reappropriated, with a soft and enveloping poetry that we have the chance to admire in the form of a very beautiful painting, executed in oil, reflecting retained emotions. The Chenus Longhi Gallery has represented her work since 2020.
