Herveline Cremmer (b.1999, France) is a French-English artist based in Berlin, Germany. Cremmer holds a bachelors degree from Loughborough University in Fine Art, with a focus on printmaking. She currently balances working as social media manager for an art gallery and working as an artist.
From violent and brutal faces, to sinister settings, her obscure works are situated at the intersection of the grotesque, uncanny and surreal. Her prints centre on complex layers of oppressive emotions, whilst her drawings explore a frantic sense of impending doom that lies beneath a deceptive semblance of stillness. Present from an early age is a struggle with self-acceptance and being at peace within herself and in the world. Difficult to articulate verbally, greyscale graphite-charcoal drawings and photopolymer prints provide an outlet for these persistent states of experience. Her practice does not resolve these feelings, but hopes to soothe them and come to terms with the way one is.
