archival inkjet print on archival substrate
Bau-Xi is proud to present selected works by the acclaimed Belgian photographic artist Isabelle Menin, including two new pieces from her most recent series, Le Capitaine In Love (2020-2021) and My Secret is Safe with You (2020-2021). Isabelle’s self-described “disordered landscapes” are comprised of numerous original photographs which showcase her skillful use of digital manipulation. They juxtapose lush, baroque-tinged light and composition with fragmented flora, punctuated by acidic shades for an ultramodern and sophisticated yet playful effect.
