Description

Sandra Chérès is a visual artist. She now lives and works in Switzerland, in Vevey and Haute-Savoie.

Born in the suburbs of Paris, she spent her childhood in Cannes before moving to Paris at the age of 15. She remained there for 40 years, working as a screenwriter, actress, film editor, and set photographer.

The reuse of a wide variety of materials – newspapers, fabrics, posters, plexiglass, wire mesh, oilcloth, and more – lies at the heart of her work.

Sandra Chérès’s art, with collage as its primary language, offers a second life to words, images, objects, and memories.
