Artist Statement for Isabelle Lutz
|
|
|
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.
