Clotilde Jnt

"Clotilde Jeannot is a multidisciplinary artist.
Forever curious, she spends her studio time experimenting around the idea of languages and vocabularies, and exploring the world through form and material.
Her favorite ways to express herself are through colours, composition and movement.

Her current research is titled « Cool Beans ». For this project, she created a set of 35 shapes called « Beans », inspired by nature at different scales (from the almost invisible to the idea of cosmos).

The 35 « Beans » became a tool that she invests in every possible way.
She experiments with all the different medias and processes she gets the opportunity to explore - from paper collage to painting larger scale murals, ceramic, kinetic suspensions and textiles - with main aim to develop all the languages and vocabularies she can create out of any encounter between the Beans and these media.

The Beans have become an alphabet, a set of musical notes, that she uses to compose visual stories. She became fascinated by the unlimited ways she could transform the beans by changing their colour, scale or material, infinite compositions, so many different stories to be told through the same 35 forms.

Clotilde passion is to awaken the curios...
