I am an artist exploring the thresholds between voice and image, between the visible and the audible.
My work engages with memory and forgetting through what I call furtive painting — a practice where both pictorial and sonic traces exist only in the moment of their appearance, within a shared field of attention and listening.
Through this approach, I seek forms of survival and oblique presence that respond to an image-saturated world with gestures of resonance, withdrawal, and care.
Lichtig studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris in Jean-Luc Vilmouth’s studio, garduating with honors, and worked as Mike Kelley’s assistant in Los Angeles. Since 2001, she has shown my work under her own name, working and collaborating also since and currently in parallel under pseudonyms and group names. Professor in expanded painting at MO.CO. Esba (Montpellier) since 2009, she is pursuing research at Aix-Marseille University. Her work and research is regularly exhibited and published in France and abroad, and included in public and private collections.
