international prizes and awards. As it is explained in critics, she plays
with a diversity of the works displayed. She doesn’t wish to limit
herself to one technique. That is important for her is to be able to
express her sensitivity using all the methods of Art she practises.
Extracts from news articles and criticisms: “The value of the
exhibition is surely the diversity of the works displayed. This a
characteristic particular to the work of Chantal Lembege. A pastel
and a charcoal sketch frame an oil painting aptly entitled in those
dog days “Tempest beginnings”. I don’t wish to limit myself to one
technique, explains the artist. What is important for me is to be
able to express my sensitivity using all the methods of Art that I
practise.” (Maurice Valmier Prize -1986: exhibition of the “Académie
Pyrénéenne. Artistic Action). “At the dawn of the remembrance, this
Gordes’ street enables us to perceive the luminosity, the thickness
of the stones, the heat of the place. It is a sensitive poetry and
vibrant picture of nature”. (Visages du XXe siècle – 1988).
