Lucille Clerc is a French illustrator and printmaker known for her intricate, hand-drawn compositions. She holds a DSAA in Visual Communication from ENSAAMA-Olivier de Serres in Paris and a Master’s in Communication Design from Central Saint Martins in London.
Lucille works primarily with the press and in publishing, while also creating large-scale textile patterns and murals. Her personal work centres on hand-drawn illustrations developed through screen printing, allowing her to build expansive, architectural portraits of her favourite places, exploring both their past and present.
Her favourite themes revolve around the city and Nature, and the often symbiotic, sometimes antagonistic relationship between them. These subjects take shape in richly detailed compositions, colored in tones inspired by the natural world. Her images invite slow looking: they are territories to be explored gradually, revealing their intricacies over time. This deliberate pace for observation fosters a unique connection between artwork and viewer, one of attention, reflection, and daydreaming.
All of her illustrations are drawn by hand at large scale, either as single pieces or assembled from fragments. She prints them using traditional techniques such as screen printing, engraving, and cyanotype, which create a tactile connection to the medium. These methods also give her freedom for experimentation and full autonomy in her creative process.
