Albane Chaumet is a French artist based in Reims. She explores playful and handcrafted approaches to animation and painting. Her colorful, naive visual world celebrates the poetry of everyday life, standing against the over-digitization of image-making.

Graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 2017, she created Ododo!, a film blending live-action and animation, featuring Vimala Pons as a quirky insomniac. After several festival screenings, the film was projected in 2019 amid her handmade paper-mâché sets at La Grande Halle de la Villette for the exhibition 100% nouvelle scène artistique.

The same year, she joined the Création en Cours residency at the Ateliers Médicis, developing Les histoires à dormir debout, a series of animated drawings made with a class of fourth-graders over a year.

Since 2021, Albane has directed two handcut paper animation music videos supported by the CNC : Sans toi for Clément Walker (2021) and M’en aller for Fantastic Mister Zguy (2026). She has also adapted her handcrafted animation techniques to large-scale video-mapping shows in Lille, Amiens, Dubai, and Antigua in Guatemala.
