Anne Blanchet Vuarrens, Switzerland, b. 1947.

Born in Switzerland, Anne Blanchet moved to Pittsburgh in 1983 at the invitation of Carnegie-Mellon University. In this environment, she becomes familiar with the minimalist works of Richard Serra, Donald Judd and James Turrell. The relationships between space and light, the concrete and the infinite, exemplarily developed by Turrell, will influence the artist's work in her later works.

Between 1984 and 1989 she carried out large-scale installations, while she developed her “Light Drawings”: pieces of plexiglas a few centimeters thick and laser cut. In these pieces, the light illusively sculpts the volume of the work, not the matter.

In 2000 she received the Gustave Buchet award in Lausanne.
