Artist Overview

Mimi Peytrignet’s work is grounded in material tension and surface resistance.
Working exclusively with plaster and acrylic on wood, painting is approached as a physical process rather than representation.

​

Layers are applied, removed, and reactivated.
Accumulation, pressure, erosion, and interruption function as structural operations.

​

There is no figurative reference and no narrative intent.
Gesture operates as insistence.
Surface becomes a record of force.

​

Repetition and chromatic saturation generate instability rather than harmony.
Control is provisional; matter resists organization.

​

The work exists as material presence.

​

Her background in psychoanalysis informs a sustained attention to repetition, fracture, and internal tension.
