Girls, Girls, Girls: Cécile Plaisance

Cécile Plaisance is a French contemporary artist renowned for her pop, glamorous, and provocative visual universe.

Her creations combine humour, sensuality, and social critique while maintaining a strong aesthetic dimension. In particular, she questions the hyper-sexualisation of the female body and the contradictions of contemporary society. Cécile Plaisance exhibits internationally, from Paris to Miami, London to Las Vegas, Venice to Los Angeles. Text in English and French.
