Héloïse Chassepot’s work moves deftly between sincerity and artifice, drawing on familiar visual languages—flowers, ribbons, softness—to question cultural assumptions and explore emotional nuance. In her upcoming duo exhibition Positive Paradox with Swetlana Heger, she merges painterly and sculptural elements to reflect on the role of the artist within the social and spatial realities of London. In this interview, Chassepot speaks about her attraction to amateurism, the tension of repetition, and why irony can only emerge from a place of deep sincerity. What appears playful or decorative on the surface often conceals a complex negotiation with identity, perception, and artistic autonomy.
