Lucile Littot is a French multidisciplinary artist born in Paris who works between Athens and France. In 2011 she moved to Los Angeles, where she lived and worked for three years, drawn to the artistic lineage of figures such as Mike Kelley, and later assisting artist Marnie Weber. She cultivates an imaginary realm shaped by cinematic, literary, art-historical, and magical sources, with an aesthetic rooted in the Baroque, the Rococo, and the commedia dell’arte. Referencing artists such as Jack Smith, Maya Deren, and Derek Jarman, she is drawn to feminine archetypes and disenchanted generations, using painting, sculpture, and image to explore the ambivalence of beauty, pleasure, opulence, and decadence. Beneath costumed, pop, and grotesque representations lies a fictionalized autobiography that seeks to sublimate tragedy through appearance and restore power to the metaphysical enigma of femininity. Her work has been presented at Centre Pompidou, Paris, Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paris; Museo de Arte de Zapopan, Zapopan; and Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard, Paris, among others. Since 2022 she has shared the performance duet Adieu Dolorès with Greek musician Markos Mazarakis-Ainian.
