about this work
For our Billboard Series, Lucile Desamory created a gouache-painted poster of her new television series and feature film De Wervelende Wirwar, on which all the story’s characters are introduced. For this special artlead series, Desamory deconstructs the large film poster. In this series of 13 gouaches, the characters depicted on the billboard each receive their own setting and context. The painted portraits are based on film stills, and, as a result, subtitles sometimes partially appear in the image. These gouaches based on film-stills form a new body of work within Desamory’s practice and are also the focus of her upcoming solo exhibition at Ellen de Bruijne Projects in Amsterdam later this fall.
Upon request we can frame this gouache in a walnut box-frame.
about Lucile Desamory
Lucile Desamory brings neglected narratives to light. From the testimony of a woman describing her encounter with a UFO in Dark Matter (2010) to the investigation of a journalist trapped in an infernal time loop in Abracadabra (2013), the Belgian artist challenges the way we experience the world.
Her exploration of reality and its shadow leads her to develop a multifaceted practice: in order to make the grey zone between belief and incredulity emerge, she combines media such as painting, installation, performance, and cinema until they become one. Through film projects that embrace a collaborative approach, she bends the conventions of genres such as ghost movies, soap operas and musicals.
