Angélique

Before she could live off her art, Angélique used to be an art dealer. In the 1980s, she worked in Montreuil alongside fellow French art dealers Philippe Jousse and Patrick Seguin. She soon grew tired of sales and turned to more creative activities. She began sewing and undertook a two-year apprenticeship with a master tailor based in the Marais district of Paris.

Now a photographer and sculptor, she creates elaborate artworks in PET and organza, all based on traditional patternmaking, sewing and embroidery techniques. Whether still lifes or portraits of real people, her sculptures are entirely made up of a thin layer of white gauze, creating an interplay between fullness and emptiness and revealing what is present and what is absent.

Angélique’s work has been commissioned by prestigious collectors and luxury brands such as Hermès, Van Cleef & Arpels, Patek Philips, and Sisley.

Angélique’s artworks are part of the public collections of Frac Haute Normandie in France.
