Biography
Catherine Bolle
Catherine Bolle (b. 1956, Switzerland) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice combines scientific inquiry with artistic experimentation. After an initial education in physics and chemical engineering, she studied at the École des beaux-arts de Sion, developing an approach that bridges art, science, and material exploration.
 
Working across drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, installation and artist’s books, Bolle explores the relationships between nature, space and perception. Her work draws inspiration from natural processes such as metamorphosis and variation, with recurring motifs of water, minerals, and traces left by human and natural presence. Through collaborations with architects, writers, and scientists, she also investigates the dialogue between art and architecture, creating works that engage directly with their surroundings.
 
Her work has been exhibited widely in Switzerland and internationally and is held in numerous public collections, including the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Graphische Sammlung of ETH Zurich.
