Born in 1961, she lives in Geneva.

 

Famous for her works taken directly from the fashion and luxury worlds, for her glamour and lipstick treatment of Pop Art, Sylvie Fleury plays with codes and highlights the generalized custom-built phenomenon of the self in our contemporary society. Like her most obvious message, Yes to All, title of one her shows at the Ropac gallery: yes to furs and to tire tracks, to chromotherapy and to science-fiction.

 

What does the dictum “Wherever I am going, I am already there” do for you?

Come to Toulouse in a flying saucer.


What does art enable you to do?

For example, spend New Year's Eve with a shaman in the depths of Siberia.
