Hoa Dung Clerget (b. France) lives and works in London. Her sculptural and installation-based practice explores the labour, aesthetics and social realities of immigrant women, often through the lens of nail art subculture. Clerget investigates how diasporic identities are shaped in spaces of cultural negotiation and reinvention. Using everyday materials such as gel nail polish, she creates tactile works that blur the boundaries between art, beauty and subculture.
Clerget holds a MA Painting from the Royal College of Art (2021). She is the recipient of Jerwood Art New Work Fund (2022) and Finalist of Circa x Dazed Class of 2021. Recent solo
