One review states that Joubert Cordier's work incorporates elements reminiscent of the surrealism of Dalí, the colors of Le Douanier Rousseau, the technique of Arcimboldo, and the modernity of Robert Combas.[4]
Joubert Cordier often utilizes the entire canvas in her work.[8]
Collections
Her series Le Dechainement de Vegetal (translation: the unbridled vegetation) features depictions of flowers and plants, sometimes utilizing fluorescent colors and a free composition style.[citation needed]
Her L'Exotism series features canvases depicting plants and animals.[citation needed]
La Narrative Figurative
Joubert Cordier's travels often inspire her paintings. As the daughter of the Chief Purser of the linerFrance, she crossed the Atlantic Ocean 49 times.[9] She has stated that each journey is a "source of inspiration".[9] Her creative process sometimes begins with sketching cartoon-like images based on her travels. These works can be categorized into two main series:
French Prestige
This series depicts scenes and memories inspired by Joubert Cordier's childhood travels, incorporating elements ranging from European settings to figures from the Pop Art movement.[citation needed]
Romantic Rivera
This series is inspired by the French Riviera (Côte d'Azur), referencing the era when English and American residents sought tranquility there. Joubert Cordier's paintings in this series depict scenes from the region, using colors like the blue of the sea, the red of the sun, and Sienna tones, and feature figures from various fields including business, film, art, and literature.[10]
Pop
Joubert Cordier's Pop Collection incorporates imagery from comic strips, elements of American culture, and consumer society.[11] These works include references to economic trends, figures like Andy Warhol's Marilyn, symbols such as Mickey Mouse and Superman, and personalities ranging from Norman Rockwell to Bill Gates, drawing upon the pop art tradition.[citation needed]
Collectors
Joubert Cordier's works are included in the collection at the Georges Pompidou Centre, Paris in Paris. Her works are also collected by individuals such as former French Prime Minister Jean-Francois Girard and entertainer Elton John, and by institutions such as the Rockefeller Foundation.
