Ariane Laroux in her art studio

Ariane Laroux (born 12 April 1957) is a Franco-Swiss painter, draughtsman and printmaker. She is known for her black and white drawings, using void and empty spaces in her artworks. She has drawn portraits of renowned activists, while interviewing them, paying attention to having exactly the same number of women and men portraits in her books. She has exhibited several examples in the British Museum.

Biography

Laroux was born in Paris, France, and spent her childhood with her parents in Montmartre in the studio of the Red House of Artists, Rue Ordener, and with her grandparents at Square de la Tour Maubourg near Les Invalides.[1]

After studying at the College of Verneuil-sur-Seine, she gained a degree in history at the Sorbonne and at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Geneva. In 1984 she married the artist-engraver Daniel Divorne (1934-2003), director of the Geneva Centre for Contemporary Engraving.
