Weekly Instagram Live session with Florentine Ruault @florentineruault at her studio in London.
Florentine Ruault (b.1996) is a visual artist and graduate from Chelsea College of Art (2018). Her work is informed by the impact of globalisation on contemporary cultures and future societies. Taking inspiration from biomimicry, neuroscience and architecture, her works are magnets for societal and environmental investigation. The artist’s sculptures and installations aim to be fractal and unique to push back against city homogenisation. Alongside creating pockets of variation in our cityscapes, the artist reveals that her sculptures are societal interventions to reverse the effects of our current city designs, namely increased rates of depression, addiction, loneliness and stress-related disease amongst populations. Her intention is to counter the encroachment of digital communication in individuals day to day lives and remind them of the power of personal interaction. To combat this dark side to urbanism, Ruault harks back to our natural origins as a way to examine and propose alternatives to these social issues
