Vision
Claire Grillet’s sculptures navigate the unseen: portals between worlds, echoes of movement, and architectural fragments reimagined. Her Gates and Portals series, rendered in layered PU resin, invites viewers to cross into abstract realms, while works like Smokin Beauty materialize formless energies into tactile shapes that balance stillness with motion.
In pieces such as Funky Paradise, she channels rhythm and dance, with intertwined patinated bronzes that resonate with musicality and equilibrium. Meanwhile, Indian Kid offers a sculpted ode to the journey from childhood to adulthood, honoring cultural storytelling through minimalist form and symbolic abstraction.
Her material palette, from bronze and aluminum casting to high-density polyurethane resin, allows her to experiment with scale, surface effect and color with bold freedom.
