Solanne Bernard, born in Paris, lives and works in London where she received an MA in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art in 2020.
She works predominantly on installations merging the imagery of abstracted body parts and plants into hybrid sculptural forms. The hybridity of her works helps highlight the roles that the fluidity and intertwinement of things together have in constructing a sense of unease and visceral displacement. In this way, her work explores how subjectivity can oscillate between human/animal/plant and object, pushing the material to see what it can do as a subject and finding ways to act out the complexities between desire, violence and disgust.
Together with her collaborator Camilla Bliss, Solanne Bernard also runs HAZE which is an artist-led curatorial project with an aim to support contemporary practices based in London.
