Amélie Chabannes is an artist who works in drawing, painting and animated film. She studied architecture and fine arts at France's leading art school, École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs.
Chabannes has recently worked as the lead artist on the PBS American Masters animated film series Unladylike2020 Season 1, 26 first episodes about diverse and little known historical American heroines as well as its recent franchised developments. Chabannes is now producing animations for an upcoming film series and a feature-length film. She is also working on a new drawing and sculpture project funded by two major private art collections (France, Belgium).
In her paintings and sculptures, Chabannes explores various representations of identity in philosophy, psychology, and art history. Following her project "Double Portraits and the Fourth Hand" (2012-2016), which explored the intersection of gender in artist collaborations, Chabannes was commissioned to draw and paint all original portraits and artworks for UNLADYLIKE2020, a timeless and resourceful collection of women's history in the United States from the early years of feminism. She also served as art director for this award-winning animated documentary series, which premiered on PBS's flagship biography program American Masters with 26 digital shorts and an hour-long television program about diverse and little-known historic American heroines and the women who follow in their footsteps today, in honor of the centennial of women's suffrage. UNLADYLIKE2020 has reached over 7 million viewers to date.
