COMTE Claire

I spent around ten years in Public Relations before turning definitively to an artistic career. I graduated from the New England School of Photography in Boston, U.S.A., and from the Institut National de l’Audiovisuel in illustrative photography in Paris, France. Studying drawing under M. Jean-Claude Athané, sculptor, himself a student of Zadkine, and teaching in Paris, with whom I collaborated on a book on drawing, “Corps et Graphie”. My photos are at the BIOS Agency Nature and Environment in Paris. I divide my time between teaching and my work as a plastic artist, both inspiring each other. I teach photography and new technologie, with a window on painting to various audiences. I am also an art therapist.

Some of my most significant exhibitions:
Promenades Photographiques de Blois “Les Costiens”
Open house day of the Ateliers d’Artistes in Belleville, Paris. I have been a member for some years.
Installations aux Rinceaux with the collective “Six sur Cisse” (Acte I à VI)
Petit Format Truyes exhibition.
The Magie Galerie des Illusions Blois museum.
The artist walk of Molineuf – A visual and sound installation regarding landscape
La Ralentie “Art et Pensée” gallery in Paris
AAB gallery, the “Au delà du réel” exhibition, collective work in Paris
Carré Baudoin “Singularité Plurielle”, collective exhibition in Paris
“En Hommage aux Galeries” a black and white photographie exhibition to celebrate the photography month, at the Centre Saint Michel in Paris.

To share a virtual exhibition with European artists is a compelling experience, rich in discovery, that I hope will spark the interest of one another and will, perhaps, strengthen ties and exchanges between artists from the countries represented. Let’s also hope that this will give an impetus to everyone’s work.
