British artist Stephanie Douet presented her latest work at the Embassy of Croatia, an installation of sculptures named „Splits“. An exhibition inspired by Croatian city of Split and Diocletian's Palace was organized by the British Croatian Society and our Embassy and opened on Thursday evening, 17th October 2024.
In autumn 2023 Stephanie Douet travelled to Split with her painting gear in a backpack. She was re-enacting the Grand Tour journeys of historic artists such as Edward Lear, Robert Adam and Lord Byron. The city had attracted her since she studied Roman architecture at university.
Roaming the ancient city sketching, snapping, reading and chatting, other fascinating objects became absorbed into her project.
Stephanie Douet lives and works in Norfolk. She has exhibited both nationally and internationally, including at the Saltram House, V&A, Modern Art Oxford, Istanbul Art Fair, and the Museum of Legacies in Jaipur. She was also a finalist for the Contemporary British Painting Award in 2019.
