Spiral Figure is part of a series of original mono-prints created at Print Club during summer 2025. Made in the heat of spring and summer, the work captures the body's energy and shifting sensations. It celebrates the human form, its movement, emotion, and physical presence.
Each piece in the series is one-of-a-kind, made using the mono-printing process. The spiral as the figure's form — the body curving back on itself, the movement frozen in a shape that implies continuation — is characteristic of Margaux Carpentier's symbolic approach: the image that can be read in multiple directions simultaneously. French-born, based in Stoke Newington, studied in Paris and Surrey. Her work addresses "the head, heart, gut, and flesh." Our guide to investing in original artwork is worth reading. Signed. £625.
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.’
