Trained as an actress, Linda Clerget extends her artistic field from theater to visual arts through the practice of photography and painting. The artist seeks to create a poetry of links between the human and nature, dream and reality, the human species and spirituality. 

Her works, which navigate between figuration and abstraction, are imbued with a vitality and a raw beauty; vitality of the touch, of the color, powdering of the material... She builds a poetic and intuitive visual universe, which speaks to our sensations and our emotions before our intellect.

The spectator is thus projected in 'small paradises', waking dreams where time slows down.

Bankside Hotel x Contemporary Collective are thrilled to welcome contemporary artist Corinne Natel to the Art Yard Studio as their next Artist in Residence. Specialising in abstract mixed media and painting, with a focus on the investigation of form space, and texture, Corinne’s theme whilst in residency will be ‘Now Everything’s Vivid’. During her time in the studio, Corinne will create a series of abstract paintings further investigating the relationship between colour and form, specifically examining the relationship with negative space in a painting and how colours work with one another to create a sense of energy and language in themselves.
