Agathe Bouton is a French artist living and working in Philadelphia whose boundary-pushing
printmaking and paper works exhibit influence from living and working in international cities across the
globe. Bouton earned her BFA in Painting and Printmaking and her MFA in Arts and Textile Design
from the prestigious ESSAA Duperré in Paris, France.
Through a modern approach to printmaking, she makes monotypes, prints, installations, artist books,
paper clothing, and paintings that play with improvisation and superimposition in their creation. Her
work draws on engraving and etching techniques, and uses color that appears in different halftones,
shades, and densities. Color and textiles have always had important roles in her work because they
create impressions of light, people, and pigment.
