Platzer is a British artist based in Paris. She graduated from Falmouth College of Art in Cornwall in 2011 and the Royal College of Art in London in 2019. She is the recipient of the GIRLPOWER Residency in Salles, France (2023), the Travers Smith Award (2019), the Ali H. Alkazzi Scholarship at the RCA (2017-2019) and the Saatchi New Sensations (2011). Platzer has since exhibited at Mana Contemporary with Palazzo Monti and had her first solo exhibition with Ione & Mann in London in 2020. Recent selected group exhibitions in London include: The Queens of Aquitaine, Pi Artworks, London (2023); Selfhood, Berntson Bhattacharjee (2021) and Here, Ione &
Mann, London (2023).
Platzer’s practice is based in painting but also incorporates sculpture and textiles, using gesture to reach a bodily rather than overtly figurative outcome, forming mostly feminine entities that propose nuanced interpretations of female archetypes. She collects and processes natural pigments and uses them alongside chemically synthesised colours and typically completes a painting in one sitting describing her process as experiential.
