Cuvelier Céline
1988
Holder of a Bachelors degree in psychology from the Université Libre de Bruxelles and a Masters degree in painting at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brussels Céline Cuvelier was born in Brussels in 1988.
Her work deals with the unvarnished reality of those who experience the limits of our societies. Not hesitating to put her foot in the door, she addresses the violent chaos of the world while
the violent chaos of the world while visually reflecting on the use of the main contemporary media.
Between painting, sculpture and installation, each of her gestures proposes the outline of a cartography, which would be at the same time very intimate and yet realistic, of a world always more torn between these different layers of realities. Emerges then a hybrid territory, formed from
experiences, fantasies and pretexts, of our questionings remained without answer also. A
subjectivity hoisted to the rank of rampart against the broken promises of objectivity and transparency
of our western societies.
It is thus another history that Céline Cuvelier tells us, a history which does not ignore contradictions of its time, its endemic violence, nor the instability of the memory when it is a question to approach the History.
