Camille Blatrix’s sculptures evoke objects from the near future, drawing inspiration from everyday elements while subverting their usual functions. Behind their industrial and mechanical appearance lies meticulous craftsmanship, combining manufactured components with pieces shaped by hand using various traditional artisanal techniques. This combination of materials and expertise gives her works a dimension that is both technical and sensitive. In 2018, his work was exhibited at the Palais de Tokyo (“L’ennemi de mon ennemi”), the Hessel Museum of Art, and the CCS Bard Galleries (Annandale-on-Hudson, USA), as well as at the MRAC in Sérignan. He has also had solo exhibitions at Lafayette Anticipations in Paris in 2019, at Taylor Macklin in Zurich in 2018, and previously at Galerie Balice Hertling in Paris in 2017 and CCA Wattis in San Francisco in 2016... Camille Blatrix participated in the Lyon Biennale in 2015. He studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. In 2014, he received the Ricard Corporate Foundation Prize and the Friends of the Beaux-Arts of Paris Prize.”
