Sophie Blet
Sophie Blet lives and works in Marseille.
After studying Art History, she studied at the Beaux-arts de Monaco, MO (Pavillon Bosio, MFA Art&Scenography) and at the Academy of Fine arts, Leipzig, DE (HGB, Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst - Master, Post-Diploma). Her artistic practice unfolds through a range of media and is sustained by ongoing dialogues with other researchers, in which the apprehension of reality shifts from a perceived space toward an uncertain, still indeterminate one.
Her work has been presented at MAMC+, Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain de Saint-Etienne, at Centre d’art de la Graineterie, Houilles, galerie Art-Cade, Marseille, Open-School Gallery, Beaux-arts de Nantes, Galerie HO, Marseille, Fondation Vasarely, Passage de Retz, Paris (Artagon), Galerie Bipolar, Leipzig, HGB Gallery, Leipzig, Salon du Salon, Marseille (Art-o-rama hlm), gallery 22,48m², Paris, for l’Art dans les Chapelles, at l’Ahah, Paris, Galerie Michel Journiac, Paris, or at La Traverse, Marseille.
Her first monograph “Not empty exactly, maybe just impossible” was published in spring 2024.
