BERTHOUD, LISSIGNOL-CHEVALIER & GALLAND GRANTS
I’m extremely happy to have been awarded the Berthoud, Lissignol-Chevalier & Galland grants organized by the Contemporary Art Center of Geneva.
Receiving this award was not only a real joy but also a huge encouragement to keep pushing my work further. A warm thank you to the jury, my friends and collaborators, and everyone who came to see the show.
I presented a group of six new oil paintings. This new series, titled A Brief History of Humanity and How It Will End, revolves around questions related to the notion of crisis. Based on digital collages, the works draw from an iconographic research into “poor images” — those from popular culture, advertising, Hollywood films, and memes — all these images that flood our perception and shape how we see the world, yet are almost instantly forgotten.
