Natalie Rich
Natalie Rich works with textile forms and contemporary use through a close attention to material.
A practice between matter, image and space
Natalie Rich-Fernandez lives and works in Ibiza.
A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris (1990, atelier Michel Gemignani, painting), she first showed her paintings in Parisian galleries, Simone Kervern and Véronique Smagghe, before broadening her practice to video and photograms. Represented in Paris by Galerie Acte 2, she took part in digital-art festivals such as VideoFormes in Clermont-Ferrand; her video-art piece Mollusc (2002) was widely broadcast on Arte, Canal+ and Pink TV.
Her works are held in prestigious public and private collections, including the Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris and the FNAC collection. She exhibits regularly at Hervé Van der Straeten's; some of her paintings have been presented at Roger Vivier boutiques. The Maison Hermès acquired one of her paintings, which became the Carré Marcelina in their Carré d'Artiste series.
About a decade ago, Natalie Rich began working in ceramics, sculpture, design and installations in public spaces. She sculpts lamps, stools, bedside tables and ceramic totems, and created a black-ceramic alphabet shown in Madrid for the reopening of the legendary Commodore restaurant (formerly Maïté Commodore). In 2023 she installed a 400 × 240 cm wood-and-ceramic piece in the lobby of the Teranka hotel in Formentera.
In 2018 she co-founded Galería Tambien in Ibiza with her husband Jorge Fernandez, where they present 20th-century design and selected artists.
At Noran Gallery her work joins the dialogue between art, design and craft, with a strong presence of material, gesture and emotion.
