Isabella Ducrot

Info: Galerie Gisela Capitain is pleased to announce its third solo exhibition with Isabella Ducrot (b. 1931, Naples). bad flowers presents itself as a fascinating contradiction, suggesting a rich tapestry of meanings. The sheer simplicity of the term bad, which strips language of its complexity and subtlety, is as astonishing as the multitude of possible readings one is confronted with. (…) Isabella Ducrot is obsessed with beauty that can be found in even the most mundane of everyday objects. Her works are like praise songs, seemingly light but cutting to the essence of life itself. Ducrot uses both textiles and paper as a medium, which she has collected from her travels throughout Asia. The material, its flaws and qualities, become part of the image and are presented as pure matter that needs no further embellishment. Flower still-lifes, landscapes, loving couples, garments – these are Ducrot’s themes – simple, yet all-encompassing. It is this certain innocence inherent in to her practice, which allows Ducrot’s works to speak for themselves. Location: St. Apern Str. 26, 50667 Köln.
