FRAN FORMAN

BIOGRAPHY

Fran Forman studies graphic design at the University of Boston. At the time, she already spent most of her time in the darkroom. Despite her love of photography, she initially worked as a graphic designer. Branding, print, book covers, web design… She illustrated all kinds of projects, thus learning the emotional power of images. In her spare time, between her career and her family, she continues to invest in personal art projects and is notably passionate about collages and photomontage. She combines her talents as an illustrator and photographer with her passion for surrealism, creating original and poetic artworks. At first, she exercised her passion through paste and scissors then, from 1991 with the advent of the digital age, using digital tools. Today, Fran Forman devotes herself entirely to her art and enjoys extraordinary international fame. Her artworks belong to the permanent collections of numerous museums in the United States, Norway, and Northern Ireland and also travel the world in touring exhibitions. Eminently poetic, her creations form a dreamlike world made of illusions and mystery. Her personal touch? A harmonious composition and an explosion of colours, light and shade. Every image is a journey. She captivates spectators and engages them in an original experience. Loaded with visual suggestions, the American artist’s photographs invite audiences to invent their own story by engaging their own memories.  ... See more See less
