Thais Delarchipel is a Paris-based contemporary artist working between painting, color systems and wearable art.
Her practice is built around accumulation, repetition and zoom. She creates large black and white paintings that contain entire worlds, then extracts fragments from them — details that become autonomous works.
These fragments are developed into colored paintings and wearable fragments, allowing the work to extend beyond the wall and enter daily life — on the body, in movement, in use.
Each series follows a specific palette, creating a visual language comparable to a Pantone system.
Her work is not only meant to be seen, but experienced.
" My work is built as a system of worlds. Each series begins with a large black and white painting — a dense landscape where everything accumulates. By zooming in, fragments appear. These fragments are extracted, transformed and given color. Each fragment exists at a different scale, but all belong to the same world. The work is meant to be explored slowly. It invites the viewer to search, to find, to enter. Some fragments remain paintings. Others become wearable pieces — allowing the work to move, to live, to be carried. Each series is limited. Once a world is complete, it disappears."
