Natou Fall (b. 1993, France) is a Senegalese-American multidisciplinary artist and educator based in Los Angeles, working across sculpture, film, painting, and make-up artistry. Trained as an architect, she brings a spatial and material sensitivity to her practice, which explores black femme identity, transnationalism, nostalgia, sensuality, spirituality, and the supernatural. Through casting, assemblage, collage, and surface design, her work reclaims beauty and self-expression beyond whiteness and heteronormativity, embracing multiplicity, glamour, and radical self-acceptance.
She holds a BFA in Interior Architecture and Design from the Corcoran School of Art and Design at George Washington University and pursued graduate studies at the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), where she received the Frank and Bertha Gehry Prize for her thesis installation, "Shaping Face."
Her materials include plaster, silicone, cosmetics, printed plastics, fabric, foam, oil pastels, and paper. Fall has exhibited at Butter Art Fair, Gallery 90220, Band of Vices, The Line Hotel, and SoHo House, and has collaborated with SolidNature, Sonos, and Ami Colé. She is on the faculty at SCI-Arc, teaching design studios and seminars exploring design principles, contemporary ways of seeing, and new materialities. She continues to develop work that merges fine art, design, and speculative histories.
