Born in 1989, Chloé Royer lives and works in Paris. She graduated from the École des Beaux-Art in Paris and studied at the School of the Art Institute — SAIC in Chicago. By transforming materials or choregraphing movement, she explores the potential of metamorphosis latent in all things, inanimate or alive. Playing with the concept of disequilibrium, this artist creates unusual forms and unexpected combinations. Ultimately, her works exist because of points of connection between things, such as skin on skin or surface to surface, drawing on strategies for repair and the care for the items themselves.
Chloé Royer won the FahrArt prize in 2021 for We would survive but without touch, without skin, a group of sculptures currently installed in Geldern, North Rhine-Welstphalia (Germany). From February 2022, she was in residency with AMA (independent art organization), in Athens, to prepare a solo exhibition Xenophora, which opened in July 2022 in Spetses Island at AKSS Fondation (Greece).
From September 2022 to July 2023 she is in residence at the Fiminco Foundation (France). In 2023, her work was exhibited in Paris in the gardens of Parc de la Villette, at gb agency gallery and Lafayette Anticipations. In 2024, she presented a solo show at galerie Loevenbruck (Paris), as well as at Art Athina (Athens) in collaboration with the ATOPOS cvc art center and Office of Hydrocommons. During the summer of 2024, her work was presented at the Centre d'Art d'Anglet as part of the 9th Anglet Biennale.
