Clara Duflot
“I think my work is really about diversion, like a misapplication, a hijacking… it’s very much like a collage, and I want the final result to be something a bit magical”
— EXCERPT FROM INTERVIEW (25.01.25)
Clara Duflot is a Parisian artist who works with sculpture to explore transformation, consumption, and the poetic potential of everyday materials.
Her practice exists in the midst of a fantastical and archaeological world where she creates assemblages that blur the lines between artifice and nature. Influenced by mythology, popular culture, and digital aesthetics, she reflects on cycles of waste and preservation, questioning the permanence of materials and memories.
She is drawn to materials that shift states—ceramics, latex, resin—embracing their unpredictability to create works that feel both fluid and fossilized. Through molding and assemblage, she repurposes familiar objects, often layering humor, tenderness, and critique. Her sculptures, which she describes as "material collages," engage with themes of love, loss, and collective memory, transforming fragments of consumer culture into poetic relics.
Her work highlights the fragility and resilience of the world around us, offering a playful yet critical lens on contemporary excess and alienation.
