Belgian conceptual artist Audrey Guttman (b. 1987, Brussels & Paris) creates multidisciplinary works that hold up a mirror to inner life, revealing the tension between our outer selves and lived experience. Through installation, cyanotype, collage, and poetry, she employs philosophy and art history as investigative tools, crafting each exhibition as a new chapter in her ongoing inquiry.
Drawing from her background in art history, literature, and philosophy, Guttman transforms found materials and vintage imagery into subtly layered compositions that operate as visual poetry. Her practice investigates the paradoxes of presence and absence, revealing hidden worlds and making the invisible visible through a delicate interplay of light, time, and form—each piece an offering to memory.
From her carte blanche exhibition at Christie's Paris celebrating the Surrealist centenary to gallery shows across Europe, Guttman's singular practice has established her as a distinctive contemporary voice whose vocabulary stems from the avant-garde. Her work invites viewers into a unique labyrinth where fragments of reality transform into reflections of our collective psyche—one that doesn't lead to answers, but to an ever-widening field of meaningful questions.
