The work of Inge Dompas (BE) is about the
transiency and volatility of life.
The
transient figures she observes depict the anonymity of the masses as well as
the rare and precious moments of true contact and intimacy. www.ingedompas.com
Caroline
Ledoux’s (BE) current focus is our impossibility as a species to
exist in the world. Deserted landscapes peopled only with silhouettes,
buildings or armchairs serve as fossils of our existence. Her work places us on
the threshold of a self-regulating world that chooses to continue without man. instagram.com/ledoux.caroline
The photographs of Charles Lemaire (BE) concentrate on the human body and skin
(tattoos, scars, body modifications, aging). With these works, the focus is
intensified to the point where the flesh becomes a landscape and the marks of
human inhabitants and interaction are clear. www.charleslemaire.eu
The film director Antoine Vans (BE) uses painting as an antidote to some of the
lighter aspects of his “other profession”. His canvases embody the frustrations
he would otherwise be unable to capture and express. instagram.com/antoine.vans
In describing some of the pieces
included in this show, Ehrling White
(Ca/US) paraphrased a text by David Hinton. That there is a bridge linking the
body itself and the act of art-making. The corporeal form that creates, or
lives, and sheds its skin. The leaving it behind, is a natural process. Maybe
art making, being very human and laden with history, thoughts, afterthoughts,
and second thoughts, is a neurotic attempt to calcify some fraction of it all,
give it a body, like a fossil, for others to make of what they wish, or not,
long after we’ve moved on. www.ehrlingwhite.com
