Felixe Rives is an emerging artist located on unceded Bigjigal and Gadigal land. Having immigrated from France with her family at a young age she grew up in Australia immersed within the Australian French diaspora. Her strong cultural connections and the distance from her heritage and family are reflected in her work as she explores the idea of home in different spaces.
Felixe graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Fine Arts at UNSW while also having extensively studied physics throughout the first 3 years of her degree. She is interested in looking at human perception and relationship with space; with the material and with others. Currently focusing on the space of the home she explores how objects within the home greatly influence our perception of it and how certain objects and surfaces may enhance or distort our sense of space.
Her art aims to create conversations with her audiences through immersive installations and interactive works, she is interested in interpreting the human experience. Felixe aims to reveal elements of mundane settings through a different lens, often playful and simultaneously critical. She uses the absurd to create conversations about consumerism and feminism, pointing the finger at elements of our industrial, globalised, capitalist society.
