Collection: Juli About

(Avignon, 1974). In ceramics, she found a new form of artistic expression, enriched by her experience in the visual arts, theatre and contemporary jewellery. It was precisely the latter that allowed her to discover ceramics for the first time.

In 2015, she was awarded a prize at the prestigious French Art Workshops Competition , which highlights the artistic vitality and technical know-how of art professionals in each of the French regions. In 2021, she received the Special Mention of the Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize , an international art award celebrating diversity and excellence in figurative visual arts.

Juli is an expert in ceramics and especially enjoys experimenting with contrasts. White ceramic is often thought of as rigid, stable and immovable, but Juli manages to transform it into something fluid, changing and flexible. It has texture, volume and we want to touch it to see if it really is soft or not.

For Juli, working with ceramics means dealing with the inherent fragility of the material, but also with the fragility of our being in the world. It is a material that must be cared for, and that invites us to care for the world.

In her works we find reflections on the female body, its vulnerability and its pleasure, childhood and the earth.

Currently lives and works in Montfrin.
