Iris Gragnoux
Join us for the latest episode of the House Visit Series as our curator, Vittoria Beltrame, delves into the captivating world of Iris Garagnoux's art. Iris’ practice is a fascinating exploration of the plasticity of the human body, caught in the dynamic interplay between a longing to reconnect with nature and the drive to evolve alongside new technologies. Through painting, Iris crafts a repertoire of gestures, translating them into sculptural and performative fragments. Her work features body extensions that play with transparency, creating an illusion of 3D forms that seem to extend beyond the canvas, reaching out to the viewer. By layering organic and synthetic elements, she unveils new semiotic colors and textures, reflecting societal relationships and the tension between the living and the non-living. Inspired by Deleuze and Guattari's concept of "A body without Organs," Iris brings to life an organic interiority that is fluid, unfixed, and ever-changing, capturing states of in-betweenness, vulnerability, and energetic flows. Don't miss this deep dive into the innovative art of Iris Garagnoux, as Vittoria explores her unique approach and celebrated career, including her notable exhibitions and features in esteemed publications like British VOGUE and W Magazine. Tune in and be inspired by the art that challenges and transforms our perceptions of the human body and its place in the world.Join us for the latest episode of the House Visit Series as our curator, Vittoria Beltrame, delves into the captivating world of Iris Garagnoux's art.
