Pauline Guerrier (b. 1990 Clamart, FR), lives and works in between Paris, FR & Lisboa, PT. 

Pauline Guerrier, a contemporary artist, divides her time between the cities of Paris and Lisbon. Born in 1990 in Clamart into a family of passionate artists, the artistic influence of her father, a sculptor, her mother, a choreographer, as well as that of her grandmother, a ceramist, and her grandfather, a painter, has shaped her path from a very young age.

In 2009, she enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, beginning her first three years in the studio of Giuseppe Penone, before joining Ann Veronica Janssens’ atelier until she graduated in June 2014. Pauline Guerrier embodies a nomadic spirit, setting up her studio according to her travels across Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Chile, Benin, Senegal, Japan, and India. She draws her inspiration and knowledge from collaborations with weavers, glassblowers, engravers, glassmakers, and mosaic artists. 

In her relentless pursuit of mastering the craft techniques of the world, Pauline Guerrier confronts ancient knowledge with contemporary issues, exploring themes such as ecology, science, faith, and superstition. She expresses herself through various artistic forms, from drawing to sculpture, as well as performance. For her, the artistic medium is merely a vehicle for a message—a language made up of an alphabet of symbols meant to convey profound ideas.

Stems Gallery is an emerging gallery based in Brussels and Paris. The gallery opened in 2015 by sister and brother Pascaline and Guillaume Smets.

The gallery exhibits the work of emerging artists, with a particular focus on introducing contemporary American artists to European audiences. Highlighting works in all mediums and formats, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, and installation, the gallery’s program is driven by intuition and curiosity rather than any rigidly defined criteria.

Each exhibition is the result of a close collaboration between the gallery and the artist or curator, allowing artists to communicate their individual creative visions and to witness the energy and dynamism of the Belgian art scene. Also, offering them an international recognition by the participation in various important fairs.

In October 2020 Stems moved to a new location in a historical building in the heart of Brussels, in the former cantine of the Solvay laboratories.
