Anaëlle Clot

Inspired by her immediate surroundings - the garden, the countryside, the forest - Annaëlle Clot deals with the near, the small, the accessible. As she wanders through these familiar places, she observes and lingers on organic details that she carries with her from memory. Once these mosses, lichens and fungi have passed through the creative process, they become visual propositions on the borderline between the real and the imaginary. Her drawings are not only the result of her bucolic wanderings, but also the culmination of research and - to quote Anaëlle Clot - a state of being in the world, claiming a transformative and regenerative function in the creative process. The result is a drawn body of work, always dealing with the living in all its phases - whether germination, maturation or decay - and leaving room for graphic exploration.After training in graphic design at eracom, Anaëlle Clot quickly turned to drawing and painting. Together with Simon de Castro and Antón de Macebo, she founded the Aristide collective, which publishes collective books combining drawing and literature.In 2024, she was awarded the Alice Bailly grant and exhibited her Germinations series at the Musée Jenish in Vevey. The series was also published by éditions art&fiction.
