Amélie Scotta

Originally from Nantes, Amélie Scotta is a visual artist with degrees in Art (La Cambre, Brussels) and Design (HEAR, Strasbourg). Winner of various prizes and artistic residencies (Prix Cocof, Prix Carré sur Seine, Casa de Velázquez, Cité Internationale des Arts, Villa Empain…), she exhibits regularly in Belgium and abroad.

From the Jeddah Tower to the disused factories of Roubaix, from the Rio stadium to the Versailles du peuple, from medieval recluses to the scaffolding of Brussels, the artist intuitively questions architecture in all its forms. Approached primarily through drawing, but also through sculpture and photography, construction enables her to speak of the human being, who both inhabits and builds.
In her recent work, Amélie Scotta takes a more sensory approach to landscape and habitat, working with color and materials. She addresses the question of withdrawal, a position in relation to the world that can bring protection, confinement or liberation.
