Installation

On the occasion of the exhibition POP AIR, Claire Ashley creates an installation consisting of three inflatable painted sculptures. Inspired by popular culture, the artist plunges into the alienated universe of the cartoon SpongeBob, imaginative landscapes and to the Star Trek movie series. Her references also come from the natural world: bioluminescent elements, northern lights and jellyfish are part of her repertoire.

“I encourage the other’s sense of wonder and curiosity by welcoming people into a bizarre, extraterrestrial, totally kitsch world”
