Nick & Chloe

Bio

Chloé Claverie and Nick West, both hailing from the vibrant suburbs of Paris and Dublin, embarked on their artistic journeys through unconventional paths that reflect their diverse backgrounds. Chloé began her career as an art director, lending her creative vision to prestigious brands such as Givenchy and S.T. Dupont while working with DDB in Paris. Meanwhile, Nick cultivated his passion for photography as a self-taught artist in London starting in 1996, navigating the medium with an instinctive flair. Together, their collaborative work delves into the complexities of youth, shifting from early explorations of childhood fantasies to a profound investigation of how adulthood influences our perception of those formative years. They ponder the enduring presence of the child within us, inviting audiences to reflect on how it shapes our search for identity as we navigate the world. Their thought-provoking exhibitions have graced esteemed venues, including Hamburger Bahnhof and the Temporäre Kunsthalle in Berlin, BETC Magasins Generaux in Paris, The Gallery of Photography in Dublin, and the V&A Museum in London. Additionally, their innovative works have reached a broader audience through online platforms, such as Studio 1316 at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Through their lens, Claverie and West engage viewers in a dialogue about memory, nostalgia, and the intricate tapestry of human experience.
