Louzla Darabi alias Dalila Dalleas

 

Wir arbeiteten mit der Künstlerin von 2004 bis 2010.


 
 
Louzla Darabi in the Peter Herrmann Gallery, Berlin November 2008

 

Since we first collaborated with Louzla Darabi in 2004, the artist's various activities and exhibitions have been attracting a great deal of international public attention - from admiring articles to intense scandals.

In the latest solo exhibition (November 27, 2008 - January 17, 2009 >>), we concentrate on triptychs in which Louzla Darabi combines familiar genres like portrait, landscape and abstract painting. In them, the Algerian artist, who lives in France, grapples both figuratively-representationally and abstractly-gesturally with love and eroticism as well as with death and violence.

The new cloud studies, in contrast, seem more cautious in terms of content. Yet viewed in the context of the political scandals caused by her previous works - like, for example, scene d'amour in which a visual depiction of sex is combined with text from the first Sura of the Qur'an - this aesthetic variation seem to be an antagonism. Its dissolving starts by looking on her complet opus, in which a poetic influence, even in provocative topics, is immanent.

We also present anew the sculptural aspect of Louzlas's work with numerous terracotta warrior penguins that already caused a stir during a spontaneous campaign at the Tate Gallery in London. The small animals are part of a perennial concept according to which they act, individually or collectively, as observers of contemporary art events in museums and galleries.

Louzla Darabi studied arts at Ecole des Beaux-Arts as well as natural and earth science at the Paris VI University.

The artist will be present for the exhibition opening.
