Art Form Of Unique Metaphors

French artist, Juliette Clovis is renowned in the global art community as the artist who masterfully works with female busts and mutates their forms to give them animal or floral-like features. Home Review takes you on a detailed tour of her art and her process of creating masterpieces that make heads turn!

“Women have always been central to my art,” says the multi-disciplinary artist, who hails from Poitiers in France. Her most recent work, explores the transformation women have undergone in the last several years. While imagining this course, there is also an abundant mix of history, myths and ‘chimerical dreams’. “For the very first time,” she continues, “the human figure disappears totally from the artist’s work and is instead invaded by a profusion of wildlife and flora.”

One of the main principles behind Juliette’s art is to maintain a balance between traditional and ancestral technology. All her porcelain sculptures are mixes of contemporary expression and classical forms, as well as dialogue between history and modernity. This last bit is blatantly visible in each of her pieces too.

With the use of the 3D application of ceramics and the 2D application of paint, Juliette sculpts the female form to a level of perfection that is magnificent, and onto this piece she sculpts quills, horns, flowers etc. Every piece has a narrative that either blends into the existing composition or wants to overpower it and break away.
