Natale Adgnot

Natale Adgnot is an American-French artist whose graphic compositions blur the line between drawing and sculpture. Alternating between grayscale and shockingly colorful palettes, she converts abstract line drawings into wall sculptures made of thermoplastic on panel, inviting interpretation by the viewer like seeing shapes in clouds. Adgnot earned a BFA in graphic design in Texas and studied fashion in Paris. Her experience making garments by hand for haute couture runways eventually led her to focus on sculpture. While living in Tokyo, she began using thermoplastic to work three-dimensionally. Adgnot has been featured in solo exhibitions at Midori-so Gallery in Tokyo and at Established Gallery in New York. Recent group shows include “Black & White” at BWAC (juried by Jenée-Daria Strand, Curatorial Assistant for the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum) where she won an award, as well as TART, curated by Lisa Wirth and Marly Hammer (co-founders of Work in Progress Ventures). Her work was featured in an interview by Art Hag. She lives and works in New Paltz and Brooklyn, New York.
