BIOGRAPHY


Anne Juliette Deschamps is a visual artist based in Paris, France. 

She studied at Beaux-Arts (École Nationale Supérieure d’Arts) in Bourges and she specialized in scenography at École Supérieure des Arts et Techniques in Paris.

Known as Ajee, she first has been part of several collective exhibitions around the globe, presenting collages, drawings and paintings.

Attracted to the emerging Art Toy scene, she practiced sculpture and took part of the movement through her first toy character Skullskin in 2008. 

Magda Danysz opened her gallery in Paris to her first solo exhibition on the occasion of the release of the art toy edition, with monumental drawings on cardboards. 

Since then her work turned to contemporary art.

Seoul's Unofficial Preview Gallery invited her for a second personal exhibition in May 2014, among the 3 levels of the building with sculptures, paintings and a live performance combining video projection and a mural painting with Korean artist Novo.

She brought her iconic polar bear to a quite life-size with a monumental sculpture for a personal exhibition at Galerie Lacroix in September 2014.

The galleries Lacroix, Lefor Openo and L'Imagerie presented 3 personal exhibitions in 2016/2017.

Mairie de Paris and Paris Artistes presented White in Parc Montsouris in 2016/2017 as well.


Her work turning increasingly to abstraction invites contemplation.
