claire poisson

Claire Poisson uses printmaking as both a means of expression and a way of discovering the world. A graduate of the École Estienne in 2005, she founded a studio in Cambodia before working alongside printers in Quebec, Spain, and South Africa. Her work places great importance on a connection to place and nature, expanding her practice into sculpture and installation. In 2018, she entered the Royal College of Art in London, furthering her exploration of the relationships between image, matrix, and object. Her artist’s books emerge from both collaborations and personal research. Invited to the Xylofil Festival in 2023, she released Tailles douces, a portfolio of wood engravings accompanied by typographic text, created during residencies in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. Her work reflects a continuous dialogue between material, gesture, and environment.
