Emeline Renard

Emeline Renard is a French mixed‑race queer artist based in Paris.
After a first career working with marginalized communities in public service, she turned to visual art as a way to confront invisibility and systemic violence with tenderness and resistance.
Working primarily with ink, watercolor, and mixed media on paper, Renard creates intimate yet political images that explore race, gender, desire, migration, and collective memory. Her layered surfaces, stains, and fragile lines echo bodies that are both exposed and protected.
Through her work, she seeks to honor those who are silenced and to imagine spaces of care, solidarity, and radical softness.

From Paris to New York, my work will be shown this April in two international art fairs.
From April 10–12, I will exhibit at Salon Art Shopping at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, a contemporary art fair that brings together emerging and established artists in the heart of the city. The following week, from April 9–13, my paintings and mixed media works will travel to Art Expo New York, one of the major platforms for contemporary art in the United States.
Through ink, watercolor, and layered mixed media, my practice explores intimacy, memory, and the bodies made invisible by systems of power. Showing this work in both Paris and New York is a way to connect these stories to a wider international audience and to build new dialogues with collectors, curators, and fellow artists.
