Dominique Torrente is a multi-media artist who questions the language. She sets up plastic devices which try to give a material and tangible dimension to words. The artist not only does she work the signifier, the verbal material, the form and the typography but she also explores the analogy, bonds, crossings, and the "errements" as well, between this plastic form and the linguistic sign, the signified. The word opens a broad semantic spectrum, finds its place between readable and visible, between reading and writing, mode perceptive and conceptual mode. The artist was trained at the school of Beaux Arts of Saint Etienne and at the same time at the faculty of visual arts of Paris 1, Sorbonne. She is very interested in the history of the Italian Rebirth painting, and she attended the courses of Daniel Arasse. D. T. asserts her filiations with the Conceptual art, Art and Language, Fluxus, Support Surface, Minimal Art. She is regularly informed on the many current artistic proposals and the proliferating introduction of the verb into visual arts. She is interested in the psychoanalysis, literature and dance and she bases herself on the actuality for her works and installations. She likes the materials which put the body at work: the ground, weaving, the knowledge to traditional making of, but does not hesitate to use the photography, videography, mechanical or numerical manufacture when her matter requires this type of technology.
