Clothilde Sourdeval

Doigt (February – May 2026)

The finger indicates.
A gesture at once crude and deliberate
pointing toward the moon,
or tracing the silent surface of marble.

Forms emerge and dissolve
within a measured tension.

Fragments of moons
Veins of stone
Flesh like marblings
Residual traces

Clothilde Sourdeval lives and works in Lille, France.

Her practice unfolds through a gradual transition from drawing to painting, and ultimately to sculpture. This progression reflects an ongoing investigation into the anthropomorphic potential of form its deformation, fragmentation, and eventual disappearance.

Her work engages with materiality as a language, where surfaces evoke the presence of the body without ever fully revealing it. Between abstraction and suggestion, her forms exist in a state of tension, oscillating between recognition and dissolution.

In 2019, she was awarded the individual creation grant from the DRAC Hauts-de-France, followed by support from the Hauts-de-France Region in 2020.

Agathe Dananaï

Agathe Dananaï was born in the early 1990s in northern France.

Her practice is rooted in drawing, using felt-tip pen to reinterpret images collected from anonymous individuals on social media. Through this process, she transforms ephemeral digital content into intimate, tangible works.

Her work engages with questions of self-representation, collective memory, and voyeurism, while reflecting on the banality of everyday life. Informed by queer and feminist thought, as well as her own lived experience, her drawings navigate the complex relationship between identity and image.

The figures she depicts become witnesses to a generation in transition, where personal and collective narratives intertwine. Her work exists as an evolving body oscillating between intimacy and universality, irony and vulnerability.

Trui Bernaert

Mixed Media (2021-2024-2025)

Starting from a quick sketch, without ratio,
I go searching for my muse.

I create my very own universe,
where strange creatures
and recognizable entities
release their energy.

Simple forms are allowed to undergo a metamorphosis,
shifting, evolving,
becoming something else entirely.

My imaginary creatures,
messengers of my insights,
also find shelter in my graphics—
woodcuts and linocuts.

At first sight, the work may seem dark and freaky,
yet for the attentive observer,
it reveals
humor, optimism, and joy.

Trui Bernaert is a Belgian contemporary artist based in Bruges.
Originally from Ostend (born in 1968), she developed her artistic practice independently, shaping a strong and personal visual language.

Her work combines painting, drawing, and graphic techniques such as woodcut and linocut. She continuously experiments with materials and techniques, always evolving while maintaining her unique style.

Bernaert’s art is characterized by expressive compositions where human and animal figures intertwine with fictional elements. Her work reflects impulses, dreams, and imagination, translated into a vivid and emotional color palette.

Although her work may appear dark or strange at first glance, it reveals humor, optimism, and joy upon closer observation.
