Capucine Gros
Capucine Gros (b. 1989 Switzerland/French)
Moving from Switzerland to Romania via France, China and the U.S A. has tainted my perception of the world with a certain geographic compulsion. My work is a way to explore, process and challenge the semi-absurd lines that humans draw around themselves all over the world: borders, languages, media, class, politics, prejudice… I became an artist because it seemed like the only way to disentangle these lines, to research any and every subject, to travel any and everywhere, question anything I might take for granted, dig into any issue or discover any culture, and try to live every day with meaning and make every encounter count. – Capucine Gros 2020
Capucine Gros earn her BFA in Painting and New Media Art in 2011 from the Savannah College of Art and Design. In 2019 she mounted her first solo museum exhibition at the SCAD Museum of Art.
