Anne Rolland graduated as an architect DPLG in 2000. After nine years working in architectural firms (Jung Architectures, aasb, Dollé-Labbé, and Henri Gaudin Architecte), she established her own independent practice in 2009 to lead her own projects.
She pays particular attention to craftsmanship, materials, and detail. Furniture design has always been integrated into the architectural projects she has led, and today she pursues this research through the design of wooden furniture as a discipline in its own right.
She discovered printmaking in the late 1990s during her architecture studies, where she took her first engraving classes. She immediately recognised that the gestures involved in engraving suited her perfectly. In 2007 she established a regular intaglio practice, one that has continued to develop ever since. She exhibited for the first time in 2016.
Alongside this, since 2019 she has been involved with the association SUDestampe, based in Nîmes, as communications officer. The association aims to present printmaking in a new light — in all its richness and variety — through a biennial bringing together around fifteen exhibitions and showcasing some forty artists.
Since 2021, she has been teaching intaglio, relief printing, and lithography at Atelier Sfumato in Montreuil.
Drawing on all these multidisciplinary experiences, she has developed a singular practice in which printmaking, furniture, and architecture mutually enrich one another. One might assume these fields are far removed from each other — yet this is not the case. The time required to master a gesture, the search for the right response to a given problem, and a thorough understanding of craft knowledge are all questions shared across these different disciplines.
