Ingrid Berthon-Moine is a multidisciplinary artist working across sculpture, drawing and installation whose practice explores the physical, psychological and cultural dimensions of the human body. Drawing on influences including language, psychoanalysis and feminism, her work examines experiences such as sexuality, illness, transformation and death, weaving intimate personal narratives into broader questions of identity and representation.

Rooted in the experience of inhabiting a female body, Berthon-Moine’s practice disrupts idealised notions of femininity and proposes new forms of female subjectivity. Her sculptures often combine the strange with the familiar, using anthropomorphic and hybrid forms that resist fixed gender binaries and immerse viewers in spaces of ambiguity, vulnerability and disquieting sensuality.

Across both drawing and sculpture, Berthon-Moine explores bodies as unstable and continually evolving entities. Her visceral forms and shifting anatomies reflect the rhythms of life in flux, collapsing distinctions between self and other, masculine and feminine, human and non-human. At a moment when traditional Western understandings of the body are increasingly being challenged, her work investigates metamorphosis, hybridity and the emergence of new subjectivities and hierarchies.

Berthon-Moine completed an MA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London in 2017, following an MA in Photography with distinction from the London College of Communication in 2009.

Recent solo exhibitions include Lovesick: Bodies in Flux at Richard Saltoun Gallery (online, 2025); It’s Getting Clawser at Fitzrovia Gallery (2022); and You Tear Us at Kelder Projects (2018).
