Audrey Guttman

She constructs a visual poetics that hold up a mirror to inner life, probing forms and narratives forms to reveal the ambiguity of phenomena such as perception, memory and representation. Using the vocabulary of collage, installation, photography and poetry, she creates exhibition projects that invert our culture's visual power relations, opening up interstices conducive to a reunion with our own psyche. 

In 2024, three solo exhibitions will be devoted to her, at Galerie Mighela Shama in Geneva, a carte blanche at Christie's in Paris to mark the centenary of the Surrealist Manifesto, and at Galerie Ketabi Bourdet in association with Galerie 1900-2000 in Paris. In 2023, Audrey Guttman was selected to be resident at the Chapelle Saint-Antoine in Náxos. Her work has been shown in solo exhibitions at Galerie Nathalie Obadia in Brussels, Ketabi Projects in Paris, Hangar Photo Art Center and Spazio Nobile in Brussels, Il Salviatino and Futura Gallery in Italy. She has taken part in numerous group shows and international fairs. Her publications include "I'll be your mirror" (Ketabi Projects, 2022), "Where the years do not turn the pages" (Gli Ori, 2021), "Au-delà du visage" (Futura Gallery, 2021), and "Making Arrangements" (self-published, 2020), in which she uses writing to extend and echo her pictorial work.

Audrey Guttman holds research degrees in art history and literature from the École des Hautes Études (EHESS) Paris, and in communication and political science from SciencesPo Paris.

Audrey Guttman est une artiste multidisciplinaire belge, travaillant entre Paris et Bruxelles. Elle développe une poétique de l’image qui tend un miroir vers la vie intérieure, y sondant les récits et les formes pour révéler l’ambiguïté de phénomènes comme la perception, la mémoire ou la représentation. Avec le vocabulaire du collage, de l’installation, de la photographie et de la poésie, elle construit des projets d’exposition qui inversent les rapports de force visuels de notre culture, ouvrant des interstices propices aux retrouvailles avec notre propre psyché.
