Isabelle Borges
Info: In her mostly abstract works, Isabelle Borges explores patterns and structures she encounters in the visible world. Her main focus is on the geometry of the spaces between things and the resulting spatial dynamics. She generates pictorial spaces that expand and contract evoking spatial fabrics in motion. Borges is heir to various strands in the tradition of abstract art. The Brazilian Neo-Concrete Movement was a major influence during her time studying in Rio de Janeiro; of equal importance were the New York School and certain European artists of the 1950s and 1960s. Like many artists of her generation who work with abstraction and geometry, Borges feels no dogmatic commitment to purity of form and non-illusionistic space. Spatial illusion and the flatness of shapes are in constant interplay in her oeuvre. Forms are not constructed out of purely pictorial elements. (…)
Showroom: Simone Lucas
Simone Lucas
Info: Simone Lucas’ work impresses with its mystical and mysterious visual worlds that evoke memories and associations but have little in common with our real world. The protagonists are mostly young women and children on the threshold of adulthood. They accompany us through time- and spaceless sceneries without looking at the viewers or perceive the other figures in the picture. They are part of their own cosmos, in which they act silently but naturally. We find them in places reminiscent of study halls, studios or living rooms, or at play in nature. In her more recent works, Simone Lucas paintings deal with extended studies of nature, as they occur in scientific literature, but also in narrative prose. (…)
