About Claire Lassonnery

Claire Lassonnery is a French contemporary artist based in Malaysia and working internationally. Her gaze is defined by a heightened perspective and a sustained attention to light. It translates into surfaces built in fine layers, then worked and burnished, where light catches and circulates, and where reflections structure space. Her works are dense fields of color, shaped by contrasts of material and rhythm, between density and breathing space, matte and reflection, tension and calm, where color holds light and becomes presence.

A Doctor of Pharmacy, she carries scientific precision and experimental rigor into an exploration of matter and surface transformation. Trained in traditional lacquer techniques in Vietnam, she turns this ancestral know-how into a contemporary language. Her painting is built layer after layer, with patience and finesse, until it reaches a balance between optical depth and the simplicity of the gesture. Her series form cycles of research linking nature, movement, and interiority.

After several years of research and practice, her work has been publicly presented and sold since 2024. Her works are shown at Artitude Galeria in Singapore and on Singulart. They are held in private collections across Asia and Europe, and have been exhibited in Malaysia, Singapore, and Monaco. Critical texts and publications also accompany her work.
