Agnès Pezeu. Prima Materia is the catalog published on the occasion of the exhibition “Agnès Pezeu. The belly of the earth ”at the Maison des Arts in Châtillon (FR) from November 6 to December 12, 2020.

Agnès Pezeu (née en 1965) est une artiste française pratiquant la peinture et la sculpture. Reconnue pour ses performances avec des corps d’animaux et d’être humains n’ayant rien à envier à celles d’Yves Klein, l’artiste traite essentiellement du corps dans ses dimensions physiques, sociales et érotiques. Elle expose régulièrement depuis les années 1990 tant en France qu’à l’étranger. On retrouve également son œuvre dans l’espace public sous la forme de nombreuses sculptures, toiles et fresques murales monumentales en Ile-de-France qui ont fait sa renommée.
