Sarah CaillardFrance

Sarah Caillard‘s (b. 1988 in Paris, FR) work spans sculpture, drawing, video, and installation. Her artistic practice frequently delves into the themes of fragility and transformation, particularly focusing on the human body. Influenced by both classical and contemporary art, Caillard explores the tensions between permanence and impermanence, stasis and movement. Her work is deeply rooted in the concept of metamorphosis, drawing from both mythological and scientific sources to address themes of identity, memory, and the fluidity of the human condition.

Caillard uses an array of materials, including concrete, polystyrene, fiberglass, and epoxy resin, to create anthropomorphic figures that are often frozen in dynamic, almost cinematic, poses. The figures appear poised between stillness and motion, embodying both the monumental permanence of classical sculpture and the vulnerability of the human experience.

Her sculptures challenge the static nature of the medium. By embedding elements of movement and transformation into her pieces, Caillard infuses her work with an emotional depth. Her work explores metamorphosis—both physical and psychological—leaving behind a ghostly, emotional imprint of the human experience.
