b. 1998 London (French-Dutch)

Hello! My name is Apolline.

I’m a visual artist based in London, inspired by Surrealism and residue.

In my current practice, I reframe found debris - drawing out the disappearing environments that once belonged, and want to belong in, a city.

I work to elevate these waste materials - often a combination of organic and inorganic matter (charcoal, studio dust, hi-vis plastic, petals, brass, old magazines) and frame how both have collided here into existence. Amidst the environment’s indifference to our man-made value systems, my aim is to highlight our willingness to treasure such collisions at all - elevating the details which tend to get lost in our increasingly divisive digital age.
