Farnet-Siegel, Aimee

Non-objective artist Aimée Farnet Siegel works with color and line through the medium of hand painted and manipulated paper. Her works inhabit space outside the two dimensional plain of paint on canvas, have a depth beyond collage and are closer in nature to assemblage.

Treating refined pulp much as a ceramicist would clay or a designer would bolts of fabric, Siegel renders, rents, and reassembles the tactile medium in creating two- and three- dimensional works. Working with 16 foot rolls of paper and miscellaneous fragments and glue, the results range from asymmetrical hangings to sculptural freestanding figures.

Born in New Orleans in 1963 Siegel received her BFA from Louisiana State University and later studied at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts. She developed a career as a graphic designer and Incorporated as Aimée Farnet Design Group in 1985.

Siegel began creating art in 2005. Siegal is a Harpo Grant recipient and is represented by Jonathan Ferrara Gallery in New Orleans and Spalding Nix Fine Art in Atlanta. In 2019, she presented an independent site-specific installation in conversation with works in the international group show Hinge Picture at the Contemporary Arts Center, New Orleans. In 2020, Siegel was awarded a 48-piece commission for inclusion in a 5-star hotel in downtown New Orleans.

She has two grown children and works and lives in New Orleans with her husband.
