Claude Jammet

b. 1953, Zimbabwe)

Born in Zimbabwe of French parents, Claude Jammet grew up in Kenya, India, Japan, in addition to long sojourns in France, before settling in South Africa where she began her career as a professional painter. Over the past two decades Jammet has lived and worked in Genoa, Italy.

​

As an artist, Jammet is completely self-taught. Painting for her is a requirement; the chosen means by which to communicate her experience of the world. Over a career spanning more than four decades, her work has made reference to the perfection of nature and man, from whichever culture. Her subject matter has encompassed portraiture but also still lifes and the quotidian. Giving her attention to people and objects, it seems, is a way of carrying with her beloved people, places and things, recording traces of her roots and offering a meditation on the fleeting and transient nature of all things.

​

Jammet has held some 20 solo exhibitions as well as group shows in galleries across South Africa, Europe and Japan. Her work is held in numerous private and corporate collections in South Africa and across Europe.
