Clément Borderie’s work sits at the intersection of sculpture and painting, focusing on capturing the unique identity of a place through its spatial and temporal dimensions. His artistic approach seeks to reveal the subtle, often overlooked details of the environment—those imperceptible elements that normally escape our attention. To accomplish this, Borderie installs metal structures of various forms and sizes directly into natural settings. He then stretches canvases over these frameworks, transforming them into receptive surfaces that engage in a dialogue with the surrounding elements.

These natural interventions become a form of experimental creation, where the artwork evolves organically, documenting the passage of time and environmental shifts. By inviting nature itself to co-author the pieces, Borderie’s installations emphasize the transient and dynamic qualities of space. Through this process, his work encourages viewers to reconsider how they perceive and relate to their surroundings, fostering a deeper awareness of the invisible processes and fleeting moments that shape our experience of place and time. ...
