Apolline Régent is a French artist born in 2001 who graduated from the
École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris with honors in 2025.
Her paintings, with their pastel colors and offbeat subjects, reflect her multifaceted view of the world, infused with humor, absurdity, anxiety, and tenderness. Laced with playful phrases, her seemingly nonsensical works are, for the artist, a way of gently poking fun at our relationship with images and language. Under her brush, the symbolic power of everyday objects and scenes is quickly dissected and revealed to us with clarity.
Apolline Régent has participated in several group exhibitions at the Mennour Gallery (2026), the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Paris (2025), the Supérette in Malakoff (2025), at Main d’Œuvre in Saint-Ouen (2024), at the Frac Île-de-France in Romainville (2024), at the À boire et à manger Festival in Brussels (2023), at the IMT Gallery in London (2022), and at Galerie La Box in Bourges (2021).
