b. 1998, London (French-Dutch)

Apolline is an audio-inflected artist from London, living and working in Amsterdam. Her practice archives the city’s disappearances — working across drawing, jewellery, and writing to elevate residues born of the city. An interdisciplinary at heart, she investigates how new modes of attention, treasuring, and environmental sensibility might emerge from the debris. In a world built on capitalist frameworks prioritising profit and productivity over the older, wider material roots, she designs alternative value systems which put wonder first: for the wildflowers, the unruly atmospheres, the legacies of light and the listeners who gather for music.

She studied History of Art at the University of Cambridge, where her research-driven approach to making developed alongside a critical engagement with material culture and Surrealism. The works of experimental musicians and bio-integrated designers continue to inspire her thinking. She has exhibited in multiple independent group exhibitions including the Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead and Battersea, and is one half of the artist duo protamedi: a collaborative project with creative producer Sophia Charap where they explore a joint obsession for the spaces in between. She is the recipient of the Alan and Karen Grieves Visual Art Award from Trinity Hall and previously held a Senior Art Scholarship at St Paul’s Girls’ School.
