Biography

Early life

Au café des joues rouges – Claudine Loquen

Loquen is born in Sainte-Adresse (Normandy) on 22 February 1965. She studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts of Le Havre.

Career

Les Deux Magots

In 2003, her first exhibition took place in Café Les Deux Magots in Paris.

Colombe Anouilh, on 8 December 2014, awarded her the Jean Anouilh prize for her work on canvas Young women with wolves (Jeunes filles aux loups) presented at the Salon d'automne, in Paris. In 2021, still at the Salon d'Automne, she was awarded the Naive Art prize for a painting In the shadow of the flowering maidens (A l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs).

From 2021, she presides over the Naive Art section at the Salon d'automne in Paris, bringing together some twenty artists from the naive art movement.

Themes

Loquen mainly paints women and historical figures, drawing her inspiration from literature, history, poetry and fairytales. She has made the wolf her animal symbol. Gemellity and sorority are also recurring themes in her work.
