In all areas of the world beauty is interpreted differently. For example in America our ideas of beauty tend to me targeted towards the external. We however, like to explore the internal beauty of people from different spectrums of life. Kimberly Sumner defines true beauty through her creativity speech and aura.
Jules de Balincourt – Premonitions
Posted on April 8, 2010
Filed Under PEEP THIS!, DOWNTOWN FASHION, VISUAL ARTS | Leave a Comment
Does technology isolate us or bring us together? This could be the theme of Jules de Balincourt’s solo exhibition at Deitch Projects, showcasing over fifteen new paintings ranging from laptop to mural size.
Dealing with abstraction and figuration, the artist presents his “Premonitions” as an explosion of colors oscillating between fiber optics and tactile paint, pop culture and epic. Young people sitting in nature, motorcyclists exiting a pink tunnel or minuscule folks gathering together below huge speakers: everything is possible in Jules de Balincourt’s imaginary homelands, reflecting the way our collective representations are shaped by technology, internet and networking. The artist’s vision of future remains ambiguous, showing how tools of communication could turn either to utopia or disaster by empowering or overwhelming people. Standing between critique and optimism, his mysterious landscapes ultimately suggests that change could come from every individual.
Born in Paris, Jules de Balincourt lives and works in Brooklyn. He had recent exhibitions at Thaddeus Ropac in Paris, Zach Feuer Gallery in New York, and Arndt and Partner in Berlin, and presents a major exhibition at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo this spring. Jules de Balincourt is also running STARR SPACE, a multi-use, community building space hosting performances and events in Bushwick.
