‍PRICKLY WOMEN Text by NATACHA NATAF

Not quite the size of the Apocalypse Tapestry but we’re getting close… A merry apocalypse with Jesus-Christ wearing a tutu and Mickey Mouse ogling at Velázquez’s «Venus at her mirror», 3éme Âge (le retour d’Ulysse) pours out centuries of history of art and popular imagery without us knowing if the chronology of events even matters.

‍As if in a still life by Cézanne or a hugepop collage by Erró, this gigantic assembly on canvas, picked here and there, makes our gaze panic with its rejection of rational perspective.

Closer to medieval compositions in its narration, this is a tribute to the «ouvrages de dames», states Aurélia Jaubert.

Sailing beyond good and bad taste, has she found the key to dreams in these flea market pieces and other attic treasures?

‍Freely associating patterns of galleon and geisha, kitten and dolphin, ballerina and Courbet’s scenery, the artist invites us in the imagination of women who still dream of unicorns.

Retired Penelopes that no longer await their Ulysses’ return and go back everyday to their loom to cast themselves into a world of beauty.

With a pricking sense of humor, Aurélia Jaubert intends, in a fair turnaround, to exhibit in the immaculate spaces of galleries and museums this swarming universe fed with Chardin and Walt Disney. Needlework won’t interest anybody?

‍Those old ladies’ pleasures aren’t sexy? Maybe. But here, they are as beautiful as the fortuitous encounter of a sewing machine and a lost paradise.

Like the return of the rejected that carts with it countless lives spent escaping the closed circle of family life or the retirement home through images.

And we think back to the four marvellous words of the Lady and the Unicorn: «To my sole desire».
