MATHILDE ROUSSEL

Mathilde Roussel is a Paris-based artist whose practice reflects the complexities of an aging body, such as mutation, hardening, scarring. For such representations, Roussel's small and large scale sculptures invariably take on a vulnerable air, their delicate beauty seemingly at risk of vanishing after being slightly touched. A deeper layer of her subtext is rich in anti-utopian commentary, with a deafening suggestion that the human being is too frail to imagine perfection. Her original artwork has been shown in such galleries as Magda Danysz, Shanghai (2016) and Haut Pavé, Paris (2016).
