Aurelie Pellat

Aurélie Pellat (b. 1992) is an emerging French contemporary visual artist who works primarily with leather offcuts, transforming industrial remnants into abstract wall compositions. Her practice stands at the crossroads of sculpture, collage, and minimalism.

Having a background in design and a deep sensitivity to material, Aurélie explores what remains once value and function have been stripped away. The tactile presence of leather — at once soft, strong, and scarred — becomes her language of expression. Through precise cuts and intuitive assemblage, she brings new life to fragments that once belonged to something whole.

Her work questions notions of transformation, resilience, and quiet beauty within what is often discarded. It reflects a fascination with tension — between fullness and emptiness, control and release, fragility and permanence.

Aurélie’s work has been shown in curated selections and online galleries. Her pieces are held in private collections in France and abroad.

My work begins where others stop looking — in the traces, the offcuts, the invisible parts of creation. I collect discarded leather pieces and let them guide me toward new forms ...
