Juliette Mangenot
Juliette Mangenot is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the fragile, shifting bonds that connect us to others and the world. Through drawing, engraving, and sculpture, she examines emotional dependence, the fear of abandonment, and the ways the body can reveal interior states. Influenced by Rodin’s
de-idealised figuration and Arp’s organic abstraction, her fragmented forms merge and separate in tension, echoing the primal maternal bond broken at birth.
