Victoire Inchauspé is an artist from the Basque Country, graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 2022. Her work explores the cycles of nature — from birth to death, from seed to dried flower. Deer, spiders, bees, bats, mimosas, sunflowers and thistles come together in imaginary worlds and narrative landscapes that summon up the seasons of time past. Using burnt wood, molten bronze and blown glass, his installations celebrate the duality of living things, poised as they are between absence and presence, the fleeting and the forever, force and fragility. Victoire Inchauspé’s work is a poetic and ecological reflection invoking states such as vulnerability, regeneration and care, which are as personal as they are universal.
In 2021, she won the Sarr Prize (American-French prize). In 2020, she was awarded the Paris Photo Prize and nominated for the AMMA Sorbonne Prize. In 2022, just after graduating from the Beaux-Arts in Paris, she was nominated as the youngest finalist in the history of the SAM Prize for Contemporary Art in partnership with the Palais de Tokyo. In 2023, Victoire Inchauspé spent a 6-month residency in one of the major residencies in the United States, Residency Unlimited (New York). She has exhibited her work numerous times internationally. In 2024, Victoire Inchauspé will participate in the 17th Lyon Biennale.
