Katrien De Blauwer

Page after page they undress. Their legs laying down gracefully on a bed, resting for eternity – so it seems. Others are standing up, can you feel the warmth coming out of their skin? It seems they are dancing together from scene to scene. Inviting you to join them. Their naked bodies find refuge between the paint strokes, next to the cardboards, under the pencil marks. They will not show us their eyes, we won’t know what their faces look like. They are only bodies. Yet, can’t you feel show more their glance, looking right through you.
First edition of 400 copies, numbered and signed. Dirty Scenes by Katrien De Blauwer accompanies her exhibition Love Me Tender in Paris, France at Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire, May 18th–June 15th, 2019. show less

"The chapters in this new FIFTY ONE Publication could be named after iconic French actresses that have made us dream, but could as well be the anonymous women that have crossed our path in Paris’s streets or on a sunny country lane and for a moment taken our breath away. They all might be Katrien. And this is how I’d like you to dive into cheveux longs... cheveux courts."
