She conceives a space immersed in collective and personal doubts, where her own body establishes boundaries and bonds, claims and hopes.

Off the wall, 2022 by artist Yann Lacroix is a painting which uses the medium of oli on canvas. Working predominantly in painting, Yann Lacroix constantly questions the systems involved in his chosen medium. By refusing to adopt a certain approach, each painting becomes an inquiry into the manifestation of impressions and gestures that compose a painting.

Yann Lacroix, Cumulus, 2022, Image Courtsey | Selma Feriani Gallery
Cumulus, 2022 by artist Yann Lacroix is a painting which uses the medium of oli on canvas. The canvas becomes a surface in which discoveries are made for artist Yann Lacroix. The layering of technique and colour result in superimposed landscapes that obliterate reality. There is a theatrical quality that emerges through the luminosity of colour and the notion of time in suspense.
