Trained as an actress, Linda Clerget extends her artistic field from theater to visual arts through the practice of photography and painting. The artist seeks to create a poetry of links between the human and nature, dream and reality, the human species and spirituality. 

Her works, which navigate between figuration and abstraction, are imbued with a vitality and a raw beauty; vitality of the touch, of the color, powdering of the material... She builds a poetic and intuitive visual universe, which speaks to our sensations and our emotions before our intellect.

The spectator is thus projected in 'small paradises', waking dreams where time slows down.

Bankside Hotel x Contemporary Collective are thrilled to welcome Ghanaian-British painter Joshua Donkor to the Art Yard Studio as their next Artist in Residence. In the studio from the end of October through the new year, Joshua will expand upon his signature artistic process of visual narration in which he looks at people and stories as the main inspiration for his work.
