Rooted in a research-based practice engaging language, memory, and modes of transmission, Nadia Lichtig is an artist-researcher whose work operates at the intersection of painting, voice, and their circulation across media.
Her practice approaches painting as a process of translation between perceptual regimes. Within this framework, she has developed the notions of furtive painting and radio-painting, in which the image does not present itself solely as visual, but emerges in displaced, sonic, or deferred forms.
Working from recorded and collected speech — interviews, readings, notes, and archival fragments — she transposes vocal traces into visual and sonic forms: paintings, radio works, installations, and editions. These dispositifs generate unstable relations between appearance and disappearance, memory and erasure, producing spaces that are as much to be listened to as they are to be seen.
Her work unfolds across exhibitions, performances, and long-term broadcast formats conceived as platforms for research-creation.
Represented by Anne+ gallery in Paris, she is currently developing projects in France and internationally. She teaches expanded painting at MO.CO. ESBA Montpellier.
