Adeline de Monseignat is a Dutch-Monegasque visual artist who lives and works in London.
Education
Adeline de Monseignat obtained her Bachelor in Language and Culture from University College London in 2009, and completed her Fine Art Foundation Course at the Slade School of Fine Art before graduating from her Master of Arts in Fine Art at City and Guilds of London Art School in 2011 with distinction.
Career
The artist’s practice, which primarily involves sculpture, installation art and drawing, investigates ways in which inanimate objects can trigger emotional responses and hold a sense of presence and life. She makes sculptures called "creaptures" – creature-sculptures, and has a special interest in The Uncanny, the contact and the origin. As a result of her degree show, curator Justin Hammond selected her to feature in the ‘’Catlin Guide’’, a book that features 40 new promising graduate artists in the United Kingdom.
She was thereafter shortlisted for The Catlin Art Prize, alongside 9 other fellow artists including Julia Vogl, Jonny Briggs and Gabriella Boyd.
She was awarded The Catlin Art Prize Public Vote Prize in 2012. In 2013, curator James Putnam brought Adeline de Monseignat and artist Berndnaut Smilde together for her first show at Ronchini Gallery, ‘The Uncanny’.
In 2014, Ronchini Gallery held a solo exhibition of the artist’s work entitled ‘’Home’’. Adeline de Monseignat is currently represented by Ronchini Gallery.
Art historian Jo Applin wrote a text for a catalogue which was published to accompany the exhibition.
