b. 1998, London (French-Dutch)

Apolline is a French-Dutch visual artist born and raised in London. Her practice explores residue - as a poetic arm of the urban environment. Working primarily across drawing and jewellery, she elevates discarded value systems held in trace materials, investigating how new modes of attention, treasuring and environmental sensitivity might emerge from the debris.

She studied History of Art at the University of Cambridge, where her research-driven approach to making developped alongside a critical engagement with material culture, Surrealism, and New Materialist theory. She has exhibited in multiple independent and London-based group exhibitions including the Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead and Battersea, and continues to work collaboratively with musicians, film directors, fashion designers, and architects across a wide range of independent projects. She is the recipient of the Alan and Karen Grieves Visual Art Award from Trinity Hall and previosuly held a Senior Art Scholarship at St Paul’s Girls’ School.
