Radiants extended

Galerie Gilla Lörcher is pleased to present the exhibition "Radiants extended" by the French artist Capucine Vandebrouck. With the radiants, the artist experiments with the light and color effects of PVC film. The play of colors and light. that the works unfold in the gallery space is amazing and absolutely spectacular.

Marie Cozette about Capucine Vandebrouck's work: "In 1967, Robert Morris achieves in the Western Washington University an iconic work called Steam Cloud, a simple cloud of smoke emerging from the ground. At the time the American artist designs this work, it is a question of thinking about a work as a random shape, shifting and impermanent. He will talk about anti-form in a text published in 1968, in conflict with the canons of minimalism dominating the American artistic scene. From there you could pull the many strings of a star shaped artistic genealogy, where entropy, chance, fundamental ambiguity, immateriality, disappearances and decoy effects would be mixed together. It is in this frame that the work of Capucine Vandebrouck would be inserted, somewhere between the Dust Breeding of Duchamps and the „scribbles“ of Sol le Witt, between the proponents of arte povera and the Asphalt Rundown of Smithson, between the bitter elegance of Eva Hesse and the visual alchemies of Ann Veronica Janssens or Edith Dekyndt."
