Comte, Claudia

* 12.12.1983 Lausanne

Born in Lausanne in 1983, the artist Claudia Comte is known above all for her exuberant, site-specific installations and wooden sculptures. Comte studied at the École Cantonale d'Art de Lausanne, followed by a Master of Art in Science of Education at the Haute Ecole Pédagogique, Visual Arts, Lausanne. The artist's practice is based on a distinct system of rules and measurement that she has created herself, in which all the artworks are specifically related to one another. In 2014, she received the Swiss Art Award, and, in 2018, she was awarded the Irène Reymond Foundation Prize and the Cultural Promotion Prize of the Alexander Clavel Foundation. In 2017, the Museum of Art Lucerne presented a comprehensive survey exhibition of Comte's work, and in 2022 her work will be included in the exhibition "Geometric Opulence" at Haus Konstruktiv, Zurich. The artist lives and works in Berlin.
