ARTIST’S PROFILE

Clémence Trossevin is an illustrator from the Cévennes region of France. She holds degrees in Archaeology and Art History, specialising in the Far East, from the Louvre School (École du Louvre).

She works in the publishing industry, collaborating with publishers including Saltimbanque, Panthera, Hachette, Marabout, and Didier Jeunesse, and regularly contributes illustrations to French publications such as Madame Figaro, Psychologies Magazine, ELLE, Les Échos, Marie Claire, and Le 1 Hebdo. In 2025, she created the official poster for the National Architecture Days commissioned by the French Ministry of Culture.

Since 2018, she has exhibited her personal work at SLOW Galerie in Paris, participating in several group exhibitions, including New Orleans, la flamboyante (2018, in partnership with the Champs-Élysées Film Festival), Bloom (2020), and Ralentir (2024). She has also held two solo exhibitions: Here the Shadows Are Blue (2020) and Passages (2023).

Through her painting, she explores memory—what remains and what fades away. She seeks to capture her surroundings and draw attention to familiar places that we often pass by too quickly, taking their permanence for granted.

Read about Clémence‘s residency project in her own words…

“For several months, the theme of ruins has occupied an important place in my creative process. I approach the idea in its broadest sense—as a connection to the past, a form of memory that may take the shape of an old building or a vintage Citroën 2CV slowly being reclaimed by wild grasses over the years.

A residency at La Moissie Manor would provide an exceptional setting, both in terms of its natural environment and its rich heritage, allowing me to further develop this line of research. I am also eager to engage in meaningful exchanges with the other resident artists, the hosts, and members of the local community.”
