Explore the Depths of Femininity Through Layered Art at Ingrid Paulussen’s Latest Exhibition
Antwerp — Renowned artist Ingrid Paulussen, who has spent 25 years mastering the art of portraiture, is set to unveil her latest exhibition Layered Balance, a collection that celebrates the complexity and beauty of femininity. The exhibition opens on October 5, 2024, with a grand reception from 14:00 to 18:00, and will run through October 27, 2024 at Leonhard's Gallery.
Paulussen’s work in Layered Balance is deeply inspired by the artistic freedom of Picasso, the “cut-outs” of Matisse, and the geometric harmony of Mondrian. These influences merge in her unique three-dimensional portraits, which blur the lines between painting and sculpture. Paulussen explores the concept of “layers” both literally and metaphorically, creating works that invite viewers to peel back the outer layers to reveal the essence of womanhood, as expressed through the interplay of textures, forms, and colors.
From a young age, Ingrid Paulussen found balance through her connection with nature, and this lifelong journey is reflected in her art. Through this exhibition, she continues to explore the soul and complexity of femininity, portraying women in large, dynamic compositions that evoke the emotional and psychological layers within each subject. Paulussen’s works speak to the experience of womanhood, with an eye toward harmony, depth, and introspection.
