Christine Polis is a visual artist based in Brussels who develops sculptural work centered on porcelain, a material that is both familiar and precious, fragile yet capable of enduring the ages. This coexistence of vulnerability and resistance, far from being contradictory, is at the heart of her approach and permeates her entire body of work.
Her work explores the relationships between humanity and ecosystems, the traces of the Anthropocene, and the resilience of living beings.
Christine Polis has developed a visual language reminiscent of a cabinet of curiosities, staging fragmented landscapes made up of ruins from which forms of life emerge, inviting the viewer to contemplate what persists, adapts, and continues to flourish amid the ruins.
Imbued with Gothic, symbolic, and mythological references, her work evokes a dark and delicate poetry, where strength arises precisely from fragility.
