Julie Jonquet-Caunes approaches the humble clothes peg and envelope with the reverence of a portrait painter. Her hyperreal drawings magnify everyday objects until they become characters, exploring texture, shadow, and scale. What emerges is a quiet surrealism rooted in the domestic, where a stool or a shirt crease carries unexpected emotional weight.

Her latest work shifts toward collage, pulling images from galleries and curiosity shops into layered compositions before rendering them by hand. Referencing 17th-century trompe-l’oeil and Surrealism, she lets shapes and colours converse across contexts. From wallpaper patterns to a monumental still life for a restaurant, her practice never stops questioning how we see the ordinary.
