RESIDENT 2024

Claire Fahys

FRANCE

 

Born in 1984, France. Lives and works in Paris, France.

After studying at the Ateliers de Sèvres, she moved to London and continued her education at Central Saint Martins, where she graduated in 2007 with a BA Honours.

After 7 years in London, she immersed herself in the vibrant Berlin art scene, where she became familiar with the tradition of German expressionism. This, along with the works of numerous Romanian, Danish, and German painters based in the city, such as Victor Man, Adrian Ghenie, TalR, and Daniel Richter, greatly influenced her practice.

Fahys lived in Berlin for 6 years, where she perfected her knowledge of oil painting. She then completed two residencies in Mexico City, in 2014 and 2016, at Oficina de Arte.

Her most recent exhibitions include a group show, Tempo (2023), at Better Go South Gallery, Stuttgart/Berlin; The Power To Dream (2023) at Galerie Hussenot, Paris. Two solo exhibitions, Rodéo (2022) at Galerie Hussenot, Paris, and more recently "Les Mains Libres," curated by Tatiana Roth in London.
