guerrier
Pauline Guerrier, a contemporary artist, divides her time between the cities of Paris and Lisbon. She was born in 1990 in Clamart, into a family of passionate artists. The artistic influence of her father, a sculptor, and her mother, a choreographer, along with that of her grandmother, a ceramicist, and her grandfather, a painter, has shaped her journey from a very young age.
In 2009, she joined the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, starting in the studio of Giuseppe Penone for her first three years, before moving to the studio of Ann Veronica Janssens until she graduated in June 2014. Pauline Guerrier embodies a nomadic spirit, establishing her workshop depending on her travels through Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Chile, Benin, and Senegal. She draws inspiration and knowledge from collaborating with weavers, glassblowers, engravers, glassmakers, and mosaic artists.
In her relentless quest to master the artisanal techniques of the world, Pauline Guerrier confronts ancestral knowledge with contemporary issues, exploring themes such as ecology, science, faith, and superstition.
She expresses herself through various artistic forms, from drawing to sculpture, including performance. For her, the artistic medium is merely a vehicle for message, a language composed of an alphabet of symbols intended to convey profound ideas.
Today, Pauline Guerrier is a recognized artist, exhibiting at prestigious international fairs such as Art Paris, Art Genève, ArcoLisboa, Arco Madrid, Istanbul Art Fair, Sp-Arte São Paulo, PAD, and Parcours Saint-Germain. Her work is displayed in various institutions and collections, from Villa Datris to the Zinsou Foundation in Benin, as well as Domaine des Étangs, MOCO in Montpellier, Artissima collection, Château La Coste, and Cobra Museum in Amsterdam.
Her artistic career is firmly established with representation by Foco Gallery in Lisbon and Romero Paprocki Gallery in Paris, along with collaborations with RX Gallery, Stems Gallery in Brussels, and Clavé Fine Art Gallery in Paris.
