Etienne Clément is a French artist who creates highly detailed dioramas, which he then photographs. Each tells a different tale, and Clément builds up his stories by drawing on both fact and fiction, history and legend. The scenes he constructs are rich with details and heavy with wit and social critique.
Clément’s work has been widely exhibited in the UK, at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art, Gateshead, in the Jerwood Space, at Bloomberg’s ArtFutures, the Architectural Association, the RIBA Gallery, the Geffrye Museum and the V&A Museum of Childhood in London. He also has exhibited at Danysz Gallery in Paris. He has showed work at the Printmakers Gallery Edinburgh alongside the likes of the Chapman Brothers, Damien Hirst and Andy Warhol. Etienne Clément was born in Paris and studied at La Sorbonne and l’Ecole du Louvre. He was a prize winner in the European Architectural Photographer of the Year 1997. He runs a non- commercial private art space Les Fêtes Galantes de London Fields in London, where he lives and works.
