Juliette Clovis

Juliette Clovis, born in 1978, is a French visual artist and ceramist living and working in south-west France. After studying law and art history at the École du Louvre, she worked in communications before training in graphic design at the École des Gobelins in 2004. In 2015, she encountered porcelain almost by chance, an experience that led her to abandon her previous practice and devote herself entirely to this material. She was artist-in-residence for four years at the La Seynie porcelain factory in Limoges, where she produced her first two series, Busts and Eggs, in the pure tradition of Limoges porcelain.

​

From 2019 onwards, she began to combine porcelain with other materials, notably in the Endless and Kinetic Garden series, where thousands of porcelain scales are assembled one by one onto sculpted supports. In 2024, The Molting Season marked a new stage in her work, with porcelain scales mounted on large cotton canvases to create moving porcelain tapestries. Her practice explores cycles, movement, and transformation, drawing on notions of impermanence, duality, and balance, and translates a contemplative observation of natural processes into sculptural form.
