AGATHE TOMAN is a French, Austrian & Czech artist, painter, drawer, photographer and contemporary poetry writer, born in 1989. Agathe is living between Hossegor and Paris.
She entered at a very young age the prestigious french Parisian fashion school named Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, in 2007. After graduating she worked for luxury brands such as Yves Saint Laurent and Yoji Yamamoto. Six years ago, Agathe Toman started to dedicate herself full time to her artistic creation.Following several exhibitions between Biarritz, Paris, Buccarest and London as a solo artist, or in collaboration with other talented artists, she has progressed to exhibit at the Paris contemporary drawing fair "DDessin" twice, and at the ART PARIS ART FAIR at the Grand Palais to name just a few, where she was represented by LN Gallery.
SOTHEBY’S Paris has presented two artworks from the artist, during the occasion of the ‘Contemporary Art Curated’ auction sale in July 2021. The drawing ‘_VOID #05’ & the Noir Monochrome ‘_ANIMA #01’. Both artworks have been sold above the estimated prices. Her Artist market value is now confirmed since the sale.
The auction house presented her art for the second time with the drawing ‘_THINK #02’ in March 2022 during the ‘Living Contemporary’ auction sale. Again, this drawing has been also sold above the estimated price given.
SOTHEBY’S Cologne will present for auction one new photography and two of her Blue monochromes in September 2023, during the ‘Modern & Contemporary Discoveries’ auction sale.
Agathe Toman is selling her art works throughout Europe, The USA & Australia. Represented by the Parisian agency Futur Management for her image, Agathe is also building collaborations with Brands & Artists.
The colours Black & Blue are the essence of her art. Paintings made of pure black pigments, blended with acrylic paint and inks, each one offers an outstanding intensity along with her mesmerizing drawings she creates with a simple Bic Biropen. These are the writings she uses.
Her art is an abstract language which is the component part of her universe, enriched today by her poetry. Each one of her poems corresponds to a piece of her artwork, united within different series: ‘The Fluids’ _ ‘The Love’ _ ‘The Voids’ _ ‘The Thoughts’ _ ‘Thus’ _ ‘The Blue.’Today Agathe has curated her own unique way to merge her 4 means of expression: painting, drawing, photography and writing.
She has also collated her first book, gathering exclusively her distinctive poetry, named:
‘_SILENTIUM #00’.
“The universe according to Agathe Toman is a complex canvas moving so each invisible thread participates in its coherence thus guaranteeing an infinite multiplicity. Each thread allows when we touch it, to see and feel a particular harmony which is unknown, inimitable, unique. Creation is vibrating through an arpeggio of her expression; an encounter, a dream, a fleeting thought, an invented color, the skin that we barely touch, that we scrub, that we scratch, our skin, or the other’s, makes it echo and create symphonies that are perpetually new. You have to listen carefully. Discover futures, identities, and feelings that have no names or natures preceding them. Let yourself go. Become an echo room. Fight against the door that could shut before the intangible. Embrace, come out, welcome these emotions which are modulated from the brightest to the darkest. It is a discipline. A priesthood that the artist endorses. She listens to herself. She listens.A striped black, a white delight, are the notes that are specific to each person, to each thing, to each moment. That is what allows a big, thick, whole, rich and eternal truth. Her work is a synthesis of the inaudible to the invisible and from the invisible to the impalpable.” From ‘The Invisibles – One Sacred’ 2019. Original text in french written by Marie Arquié.
