Like a game, Taline Zabounian develops rules with key visual and methodological aspects from her painting, echoing the digital or printed screen. Using stencils made from her freehand drawings, the repetitive painted modules become a pattern unfolding on the surface of the canvas.

Taline Zabounian (Paris, France, 1986). Zabounian is a born and raised Parisian artist who graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Her paintings have been exhibited in several galleries and institutions, such as Galerie SLIKA in Lyon, MR14 Gallery and Galerie Jean Collet in Paris, Galerie 100 Titres in Bruxelles, the Museum Monnaie de Paris and the Maison Rouge Museum in Paris. In 2013, she participated in an artistic program residency in Armenia, namely Art and Cultural Studies Laboratory. Zabounian’s artistic research aims at experimenting different creative tools, such as collage, video projection, printing, and photoshop, so to define her peculiar visual expressiveness. Taline plays with these modern/technological implementations juxtaposing freehand strokes, and, in doing so, she is able to create a new linguistic code, an answer to the question of mass reproduction: her paintings witness repetition, superposition, and deformation. Above all, her images must awaken in the observer the allure of enigma.
Each week Rossella Farinotti, our curator, selects 6 interesting artworks on Kooness choosing artists from different generations, mediums, countries and approaches to contemporary art, indicating the reasons why it’s worth understanding the artwork.

Using collage, projection, printing, and photoshop are some examples of Zabounian’s efforts at experimentation to create her expressive visual endeavors. Taline Zabounian plays with these modern/technological implementations in juxtaposition of her freehand gestures in order to create a new code, which serves to answer the question of mass reproduction.
Like a game, Taline Zabounian develops rules with key visual and methodological aspects from her painting, echoing the digital or printed screen. Using stencils made from her freehand drawings, the repetitive painted modules become a pattern unfolding on the surface of the canvas.
The next steps are realized by using aspects of collage, added forms and colors, variations of wefts, and mechanical markings. For Taline Zabounian, the painting itself becomes like a woven frame. This braiding game takes its form in a set of movements established with borrowed notions of the digital. The intent: to make painting a witness of repetition, superposition, and deformation. Above all, the image must awaken in the observer the allure of enigma.
