Nu au lit (Etretat)

Charlotte Mano was born in 1990 in a small seaside town in the South-west of France. After a double cursus in Modern Letters and Cultural Communication, Charlotte joins the prestigious Ecole des Gobelins in Paris from which she graduates with honors. Her work draws from a range of influences: from the fantastic literature of the nineteenth century to contemporary painters like Djamel Tatah or Zhang Xiaogang or even to plastician artists like Oscar Muñoz. Her photographic work, if it unfolds in appearance around several themes (the body, the space, the darkness), does not cease to question the image: its power of representation and transparency, but also its own limits. She had her first solo exhibition at the Chateau d'Eau in Toulouse in 2018 and has been recognized since as one of the most significant emerging French artists photographers.
