If unfamiliar with Bigoudi’s work, one could say that she stands with one foot in a field analyzing farm animals with her camera, and the other in her contemporary art studio studying different ways she could depict these individual creatures.
Many of Bigoudi's images appear on a single surface, others are deconstructed on multi-panels. Her painted animals illustrate just how similar psychology and posturing can be between ourselves and these creatures…cows, horses, roosters and bison seem to be floating, frozen on a surrealistic setting - a retro wallpaper motif, a polka dot background or a combination of colourful stripes, making each piece an exploration of the two worlds (human and the animal) with infinite crossovers.
