Polly
Pollet*

Positively provocative.
Bold ideas in blue ballpoint.

A night shop, a launderette, a tropical garden remembered from Medellín. Each project by Polly Pollet starts from a new concept, but the thread stays the same: the ordinary places and images that quietly shape how we live, see and remember. Drawn in ballpoint pen, line by line, without erasing.

About

The world is her canvas and the BIC pen her principal technique.

Through her artwork, Polly Pollet (°1993) evokes a personal view on reality that confronts us with ourselves in relation to the Other. As a storyteller she explores sexuality and intimacy, identity, privacy, taboo and connectivity in our hyper-digitalised era.
