Frédéric Forest

Multidisciplinary Artist
Frédéric Forest
Frédéric Forest is a French artist based in Paris. Born in Annecy in the French Alps, he studied industrial design at ENSCI – Les Ateliers before co-founding the design studio Forest & Giaconia with Clémentine Giaconia in 2008. After years working at the intersection of design and visual culture, he now dedicates his practice primarily to drawing and painting from his studio in Paris’s 15th arrondissement.
His work explores the dialogue between illustration, art, and design—disciplines he approaches as complementary languages that continually inform one another. Forest’s drawings have been exhibited internationally, including at the Contemporary Art Center of Briançon in 2025 and during Art Basel Miami. He has collaborated with clients such as Chanel, Bang & Olufsen, Kinfolk, Vogue, Lancôme, Polène, Selfridges, and Skims.

“My work sits between drawing, illustration, art, and design—each discipline offering a new perspective on the others.” – Frédéric Forest

Paintings and Etudes

(20)
Painting and works on paper by Frédéric Forest extend a practice rooted in drawing—an essential, daily gesture that has shaped his work since childhood. Moving fluidly between art and design, his compositions reflect a sensitive and refined approach, where line becomes both structure and expression.
Across paintings and works on paper, Forest explores a visual language that is at once precise and intuitive. Minimal yet evocative, his marks capture fleeting impressions drawn from a wide field of influences—architecture, fashion, movement, and everyday encounters—translated into compositions that balance clarity and emotion. These works offer a direct and intimate engagement with the artist’s hand, revealing a practice where simplicity carries depth, and where each line holds the potential for both narrative and abstraction.
