In a perpetual quest to learn ancestral techniques, Pauline Guerrier confronts the knowledge of yesterday with the world of today and tomorrow. Ecology, science, faith and belief are subjects that never cease to interest her.
Pauline Guerrier, lives and works in Paris. Born on November 27, 1990 in Clamart, France, she is the first child of a couple of artists. Her father, a sculptor, and her mother, a choreographer, made her discover the pleasure of creating with her hands. She entered the Beaux Art de Paris in 2009 in Giuseppe Penone's studio, which she attended for the first three years. She then joined Ann Veronica Janssen's studio until she graduated in June 2014.
Thereafter, Pauline Guerrier spends her life in a wide range of workshops, between Italy, the Maghreb, Portugal, Chile and many other countries. Weavers, glass blowers, stone carvers, glaziers, mosaicists and many others are her daily life, where she observes, analyses and learns.
In a perpetual quest to learn ancestral techniques, Pauline Guerrier confronts the knowledge of yesterday with the world of today and tomorrow. Ecology, science, faith and belief are subjects that never cease to interest her. Her work is expressed through drawing and sculpture, but also through installations, performance and video, in order to use the medium that is best suited to the different subjects she tackles.
Today, her work can be seen at Art Paris, Art Genève, Arco Lisboa, Istanbul Art Fair, the PAD but also on the Place Saint-Germain-des-Pré during the Parcours Saint-Germain, at the Villa Datris, the Fondation Zinsou in Benin (Africa), or at the Domaine des Étangs.
