b. 1998, London (French-Dutch)
Apolline is an audio-inflected artist from London, currently living and working in Amsterdam. Her practice explores traces - as a poetic arm of the urban environment. Working across drawing, jewellery, radio, and writing, she elevates residues born of the city, investigating how new modes of attention, treasuring and environmental sensibility might emerge from the debris. For her, these fragile emergences provide powerful insights into the discarded value systems underpinning our current infrastructures built on 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 the works of bio-integrated designers and alternative experimental musicians continues to inspire her thinking. She has exhibited in multiple independent group exhibitions including the Affordable Art Fair in Hampstead and Battersea, and continues to collaborate with creative producers 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.
