Artist Statement:
Isabelle Lutz, who came to
painting on her 30th birthday
not because she has a gift but
through sheer willpower,
started without learning
first. «When I decided to
paint, I threw myself into it
headlong and started working
intensively. I painted for
hours and days on end.» In
four years, during which she
has produced 107 paintings, a
deep consciousness of woman’s
condition in the heart of
contemporary society quickly
emerged.
Almost all her paintings show
nude women in often-ambiguous
poses in stiff, dehumanised
environments. They speak for
themselves but the main thing
must not be neglected: the
women are looking at us. All
are depicted frontally, their
eyes wide open, attentively,
voraciously, one might say,
observing us, turning the
usual relationship between
viewer and viewed upside-down.
The sexuality visible in
Isabelle Lutz’s paintings is
not an ode to freedom and
eroticism. On the contrary, it
ambivalently attests to the
persistence of a certain form
of alienation that forces
women to make concessions on
their individuality....
