Charlotte Coquen, Clémence Van Lunen, Valérie Delarue and Patrick Loughran, members of the C14 PARIS association, will take part in the round-table discussion to be held on Saturday, October 7, 2023 at 16:00 to share with us their career paths as contemporary ceramic artists.
Charlotte Coquen
Trained at the Beaux-arts de Rouen and the Institut Européen des Arts Céramiques in Guebwiller, Charlotte Coquen has lived and worked in Rouen since 2015. Her protean approach, involving sculpture and installation, places special emphasis on ceramics. The artist is developing research into identity claims and various questions about the body. She jubilantly juggles mediums and techniques to achieve her ends.
Charlotte Coquen is a member of the C14 PARIS association. She was a guest at C14 PARIS in 2022, where she exhibited her recent work. She won the special mention in 2014 and the jury prize in 2016 at the show formerly known as Céramique 14.
