BIOGRAPHY

Clément Poplineau is visiual artist working primarily with paintings. His Renaissance-like, realistic portraits of French banlieue youngsters look like they are hiding something; what seeps out of their composure is sheer complexity. Poplineau’s paintings navigate power, class, and identity by sacralizing the “symbolic activities” that make up the banlieue’s youngster identities—from social exclusion to visual and bodily language—his paintings revaluate (un)ruly habits.

He had his first solo exhibition at the Palace in Brussels, and his work has also been exhibited in several group exhibitions at Académie Royale des Beaux Arts (2019); SB34 (2018); Montana Shop (2018) and Lycée Molière (2018).

Poplineau studied painting at the Académie royale des Beaux-Arts, Brussels.
