Belle Bassin is an experimental visual artist. In her practice, she pursues new formats and modes of presentation where she exhibits within urban and biological spaces, as well as within galleries and museums. Situated at the intersection of sculpture and performance, her work often fixates upon the sentient dimension of colour and form and possibilities and constraints of physical movement within public space. Her work is currently concerned with the way images appear in the mind and their translation into art contexts.

Belle Bassin is a Naarm / Melbourne based artist. She has exhibited widely in Australia and internationally. Notable exhibitions include A Form Arriving (solo, Mars Gallery, 2022); From Will to Form, TarraWarra Biennial (TarraWarra Museum of Art, 2018); Inches, Feet, Verse, Marsèlleria (New York, 2018); On Campus (Monash University Museum of Art, MUMA 2017); and Believe Not Every Spirit, but Try the Spirits (MUMA, 2015).

In 2016, her sculptural performance It’s Easier to Look at Your Skin, inspired the left motif of the group exhibition Dancing Umbrellas, curated by Sue Cramer at Heide Museum of Modern Art, where she also presented To Eat Glass, a choreographic sculpture in the Heide gardens. In 2020, she self-organised a two-day performance work titled Alto Air at Temperance Hall, VIC, supported by Creative Australia.

Her work has been shaped by multiple international residencies, including the Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris (2018, 2023); the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP), New York (2018); and a nomadic residency in Greece (2017), funded by Creative Victoria. Bassin was awarded the Rupert Bunny Foundation Visual Arts Fellowship in 2018. In 2023, she exhibited new work at Alta Forma, VIC.
