Summer Swim (Ghost) is an original ghost monoprint created by Margaux at Print Club during the spring-summer of 2025. Part of the exclusive Print Club London series of original monoprints exploring the body's energy, movement and sensation during the heat of that summer.
A ghost print is the delicate second impression pulled from the original plate after the primary Summer Swim print has been made — carrying less ink, the image appears lighter and more ethereal, as if seen through water or from a distance. The swimming figure in its ghost version has a particular appropriateness: the swimmer already in motion through a medium that dissolves definition.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Margaux Carpentier
Margaux Carpentier is a French-born artist based in Stoke Newington, London who studied in Paris and Surrey. She works across screen printing, painting, drawing, spray paint, ceramics and large-scale murals — her practice built around storytelling through symbolic imagery, created entirely by hand using analogue methods. Her work addresses the head, heart, gut and flesh: desire, connection and the vibrant oddity of existence rendered in bold, unapologetic figures and folk-inflected symbols. She is part of Animaux Circus studio and the Puck collective, and is represented by Art Friend. She was campaign artist for Affordable Art Fair Battersea Spring 2025 and has painted murals at London Zoo and Homerton Hospital. In her own words: ‘Creation acts as a window, an unlimited access to colour and pleasure.’
