Sandrine Pagny
Glow Up
The artist lives and works in Paris and in Pouilly-sur-Loire (58).
Transformation and movement are what lie at the core of the sculptures by Sandrine Pagny, who trained later in life at a School of Applied Arts after studying at the Beaux-Arts in Grenoble.
The work is transformed by the bright colours overlaid on top of each other, the different glazes and lacquers and the sometimes brutal shaping, kneading it and setting it free. Her sculptures are inhabited and animated by constant movement, flow and metamorphosis.

Miroir d’eau
The artist originally comes from Belgium. She lives and works in Poët-Laval (26).
For this exhibition, I’m revisiting the fascinating figure of the mermaid as part of my research into the relationship between the Living and Otherness.
Water has a special way of distorting reality, of duplicating it by changing it with its reflections and mirror effects. In my work, recurring themes are the double, the shadow and the unconscious. The mermaid is part of a world that embraces strangeness and magic.
She is a matriarchal figure with a tragic destiny, a symbol of both the nurturing sea and the destructive ocean. She is a goddess with many different faces, both an outcast and a powerful figure, both monstrous and enchanting. Her power of transformation and resilience is a source of inspiration for our times: her hybrid nature subverts established norms and puts us in a different cosmogony, one that is linked to nature and the sacred.
Embodying this mysterious, ambiguous female goddess, mythology and poetry are harnessed as a means of reinventing possibilities.
