Based in East London, Camille Walala is a French artist who takes joy seriously. Over the last decade, she has become renowned for making ambitious and large-scale interventions in public spaces around the world, using the human-made landscape as a vessel for disseminating positivity. Camille’s art is visceral, immediate and instinctive. Her bold colours, playful shapes and geometric patterns create a powerful visual energy, lifting moods, stirring hearts and raising smiles in all who pass by. ‘Taking Joy Seriously’, her monograph, charts the course of her career through a variety of stunning projects and includes an interview with the artist and a mini-booklet containing her sketchbook work.
