For her first solo exhibition, Lucile Lance presents a set of paintings and drawings made from 2023 to 2026. She draws her references from history painting and theater to create rich and complex compositions. She works mainly with black oil, playing on shades of gray, black and white. Attention is focused on facial expressions and hand gestures. The very folds of the clothes prolong the bodies in action. The gesture is put at the service of expressiveness and the representation of intense and ambiguous feelings. Her paintings are dense, full of references and symbols.
