b. 1998, London (French-Dutch)

Apolline is a French-Dutch visual artist living and working in London. Her practice explores traces - as a poetic arm of the urban environment. Working primarily across drawing and jewellery, her work elevates landscapes shaped by city life, investigating how new modes of attention, treasuring and environmental sensibility might emerge from the debris. Residues of the remote, accidents, and organic fledgling existences all appear in her work as latent but powerful insights into the discarded value systems which have led to our current infrastructure prioritising profit, convenience, and efficiency.

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, and most recently, bio-integrated design. She has exhibited in multiple London-based group exhibitions including the Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead and Battersea, and continues to collaborate with film directors, fashion designers, architects and musicians across a range of self-directed projects. 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.
