The artist also participates actively in international trade fairs. Over the years, a numerous of exhibitions are devote to her art in France and abroad. In 1994, Aurelie Nemours receives the grand prize for painting. The work of Aurelie Nemours can be divided into periods. It is from the exhibition of 1953 (Allendy Gallery, Paris) that the artist has limited, almost without exception, the structure of all her works only to vertical and horizontal, which are characteristic of all her work. Square. Rectangles. Complex juxtapositions. Staining and contrasts. Nemours hopes to "install a vacuum", according to her own words. The culmination of this rigorous work, goes to the asceticism limited to squares and rectangles, black or gray, work on space and matter. Aurélie Nemours leaves us in 2005 in Paris.
