Gabrielle Chardigny (Paris, 1996) is a French artist/sculptor who graduated from the Superior School of Art and Design of Saint-Étienne (ESADSE) in 2021. Based in Berlin, she works at SudkreuzAteliers. Since 2021, she has been invited to participate in the artist residency: Montemero Residency in Andalusia and to exhibit her work in Portugal, France, and Germany.
“My work examines the complex relationships humans have with nature. Creating an interaction between man-made and natural materials allows me to question the inconsistencies of human actions on the plant world, the dysfunctions of society, and reveal the reality of an increasingly vulnerable world.
Combining these materials allows me to address the concept of time. Industrial materials, which represent durability and rapid production, are juxtaposed with natural materials that impose a slower pace of creation. These materials eventually interact, intertwine, and transform, coexisting to create complex forms that blend the artificial and the natural, resistance and fragility, speed and deceleration.”
