About
This exhibition aims to provide a glimpse into Beaudry’s unique world and celebrate a nuanced view of the female experience. For the past three decades, Beaudry's figurative paintings have depicted objects borrowed from popular culture, the everyday and the world of celebrity. From a gigantic pair of studio shoes to a delicate portrait of Lady Diana, her distinctive iconography is inspired by fragments of reality, as well as photographs she takes herself or sources from the Internet. Characteristic of her practice is the way she isolates her subjects and depicts them frontally, as to avoid situating them within any specific context. Filling the entire composition, these objects exist by themselves, suspended in a state of isolation and often blown up to such as a scale that they no longer relate to reality. The exhibition will focus on works produced between 2013 and 2023, all of which find their origin in autobiographical references yet speak a universal language of determination, defiance and self- empowerment.
Charlotte Beaudry (b. 1968, lives and works in Brussels) has been acclaimed internationally through major exhibitions at WIELS, Brussels; BOZAR, Brussels; BPS22, Charleroi; Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Copenhagen; MOCAK, Krakow. Her work is held in the collections of the Pérez Art Museum, Miami; Thalie Art Foundation, Brussels; FMAC, Paris; Bonnefantenmuseum, Maastricht; K & K Kollektion, Monaco amongst others.
