[Portrait] [Calligraphie] [Painting] Fabienne Verdier : Vortex (english subtitle)

@artdesign

In her tranquil studio, the French artist’s new 'Vortex' paintings give form to the human voice.

As the first ever artist-in-residence at the renowned Juilliard School in New York, Fabienne Verdier studied the vocal practice and breathing technique of the singers and musicians in training. The resulting series, ‘Vortex’, comprises large scale paintings, each one a unique response to the way a soprano sings a specific operatic aria by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The paintings’ swirling, vortex-like strokes are made with the use of massive horsehair brushes which Verdier operates from a specially built mobile platform above the canvas. Manifestations of Verdier’s desire to go beyond a ‘static, unmoving’ form of representation, they offer points of connection with the ‘true nature of reality’: ‘spontaneity, movement, change’, as she reflects in this video.

Filmed at the French artist’s studio complex in the remote countryside of the Val-d’Oise while working on the ‘Vortex’ series this summer, the video sees the artist in her studio, the library (where long periods of research and contemplation precede the beginning of new works) and surrounded by nature: whose ‘active silence’, Verdier says, ‘brings these paintings to life.’

‘Fabienne Verdier: Vortex’ is on view at Waddington Custot, London from 6 October to 17 November.

The hysteria surrounding the Oasis reunion serves as a powerful reminder of the lasting impact of strong branding in the music industry and beyond. Through a combination of iconic design assets, distinctive sounds, clear messaging, and unforgettable personalities, bands like Oasis and the Spice Girls have created brands that stand the test of time.

For graphic designers, marketers, and brand strategists, the lessons from these enduring musical acts are clear: create multi-sensory brand experiences, tap into emotional connections, and develop assets that can evolve with culture while remaining true to the core identity.

By doing so, brands can aspire to achieve the kind of lasting cultural relevance that keeps audiences coming back for more, even decades after their initial impact.
