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, her work elevates residues born of the city, investigating how new modes of attention, treasuring and environmental sensibility might emerge from the debris. The sidelines, accidental dispersion, and organic fledgling existences all appear in her work as latent but powerful insights into the discarded value systems informing 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. She feels a deep affinity for the works of bio-integrated designers and alternative electronic musicians, and has exhibited in multiple independent 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.
